To preface, I am pro-life (anti-abortion), but that's besides the point. It is June, and I've noticed that #YouKnowMe is losing traction. I don't think it's just due to new events like Pride Month, but I'm noticing that the hashtag is less successful.
I used Socialert to research pro-abortion and pro-life hashtags. It analyses the last 500 tweets to use any given hashtag. Here's what I found:
#WhatAbbySaw: 427,408 total reach, 427,333 impressions (pro-life)
#YouKnowMe: 850,277 total reach, 894,426 impressions
#WhatDidAbbySee: 585,109 total reach, 1,656,856 impressions (pro-life)
#UnplannedMovie: 892,549 total reach, 1,041,042 impressions (pro-life)
#StopTheBans: 1,725,255 total reach, 2,150,653 impressions
#BeBoldEndHyde: 1,825,290 total reach, 2,020,386 impressions
#AbortionIsAWomansRight: 2,608,937 total reach, 2,682,975 impressions
Also, I just visited the Miley Cyrus page on Twitter: neither her "Miley Cyrus x Marc Jacobs" Planned Parenthood hoodie and her PP abortion cake include #YouKnowMe. One could respond with "maybe she didn't get an abortion" but my point is this: why isn't #YouKnowMe being used more? How come even the pro-life cause has little to say in response? My understanding is that #YouKnowMe was so short-lived, it migh count as a BLAM – a Big Lipped Alligator Moment, a moment that comes and goes with the wind. I still believe that this article should be merged as a section of #ShoutYourAbortion, which was featured on O, The Oprah Magazine, not just as a hashtag. As we can see, there are several unique pro-abortion and pro-life tags that outperform #YouKnowMe by far. I'm open to hearing other perspectives about this. --LABcrabs (talk) 05:10, 6 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
What does Miley Cyrus have to do with this? Does her not using the #youknowme hashtag suddenly invalidate the global effect of the #Youknowme movement? It doesn't. In fact, it could be argued that her public endorsement of Planned Parenthood could be a result of the #YouKnowMe movement amongst others, regardless of her not using the hashtag. A movement can be short lived or long lived. As long as the movement concerns group action to achieve something, the term movement in my opinion is correct. It was already decided not to merge the articles after discussion. PhotoandGrime (Pieke Roelofs) (talk) 12:44, 6 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
