maintaining any reasonably popular web property is a constant battle of striking down spammers, scammers, and hackers. their basic server code might keep running for months, but unless their engineering teams have been doing some truly magical work up until now the quality of the content is going to rapidly degrade if there isn't active intervention to keep the bad actors suppressed.

And yet, somehow new Twitter has FAR fewer bots and spam tweets that three weeks ago. Hmm…

Edit: downvoting doesn’t change reality

What is up with the rage downvotes? It’s pretty easy to look at the replies to popular Twitter users. There are waaay fewer crypto scam bots everywhere. Why deny reality?

Those crypto bots being less pronounced probably has more to do with the entire crypto ecosystem being a bit... dying right now.

I had to eventually disable inbound PMs because the "offers to gain money working online" were just too many. So your mileage may vary.
