I'm the author of this paper. I analyzed 16,695 Arabic tweets about Lebanon posted on X and found that tweets expressing uncertainty receive about 25% higher average engagement than more definitive tweets.
The effect appears particularly strong in replies. The paper discusses possible mechanisms behind this pattern and includes the dataset methodology.
Happy to answer questions or discuss the analysis.
