> This study shows that 25% of Twitter users send 97% of all tweets

This is significantly higher than I expected, and I think Twitter would be proud of that.

As also mentioned in the comment you reacted on, 80% of those 25% is retweets.

You also need to consider how much of that is bots.

Seriously I feel like at least 50% of “users” are actually bots whether on Reddit or Facebook or whatever but they get listed as MAU lol

I'm sure there are more retweets than replies, but still. 10% of users (is that the math? probably not.) are actively posting original tweets, and even more are replying to them. That's alright I think.
