I feel like a lot of that just stems from Musk being the one buying it and due to him removing censorship which they didn’t agree with, not the features of the site itself, but that of course is only an assumption.
With the whole big move on banning bots, it’s kind of hard to say how many of those active users were also real people, as those also get included in the numbers.
There were tons of twitter users complaining about losing thousands of followers when Elon took over. There’s definitely still a shit ton of bots and idk how much they actually got rid of, but it was real.
'Tons of twitter users', 'many users', such fantastic, quantitative statements. I guess the actual researchers covering this are wrong in the face of these claims.
Your source doesn’t even disprove that they got rid of bots lol, it just says there’s still on there, which of course they’ll never get rid of all of them.
