Sure. Who do you have on the inside who can publicly verify that you're correct?

Their previous CEO said they saw on the order of 500k bot signup attempts daily, and the reports last week specifically mentioned layoffs affecting those teams and things like reporting. Put that together and I’d be careful about comparing numbers before and after this month since they’re almost certainly not measuring the same thing.

Not any more, no. You’ll note that I expressed this as a theory rather than a statement of fact.

>Want to bet that’s not unconnected to sacking the people who tried to block bots?

No you didn't. You made a bet and got your bluff called.
