It's to do with sales.

I mean, sure, be DVTimes if you like and do pointless marketing activity all day if it makes you happy. I try to focus on conversions and revenue as useful metrics.
Even if it generated me 1000 sales(point being: something to be extremely boastful / excited about), I wouldn't post it on here so I understand their willingness to keep that private. You'd get even more of the actual naysayers - I know you're not one, but there are many here.

From my own experiences, Facebook and Twitter convert extremely well. I would agree with them that if they're able to get 30k+ likes / interactions on the photo, they're gaining a considerable amount of revenue from the endeavor overall - perhaps indirectly ... perhaps directly - I don't see the data, but an educated guess tells me it's very profitable.
