With most of the engineering, content moderation, and policy teams out of the picture, what's the likelihood that a large % of this isn't just crypto and scam bots?

There’s a World Cup going on, the US is in the end stages of a consequential election, Twitter itself is a fascinating train wreck… I find it believable.

That said, I’d still bet it’s bots if someone made me bet.

Didn't Parag previously mention they kill over 500k bot/fake accounts per day?

I'd imagine with huge staff cuts, this may be a factor...
