15M is nearly 5% of Twitter's active users, or all the growth they've had in 2015. Assuming these bots are "active".

If it's true, I wonder what effect it will have on the value of Twitter(I do assume this isn't the only one).

If it turns out half the use base is made out of bots or non-active registered users that is.
