As long as they're getting enough user engagement, which drives ad revenue, they don't care.

Apart from the Reddit protests (which they will just force an end to by replacing mods) has there been any objective evidence of engagement or number of active users going down on Twitter or Reddit so far?

I thought Twitter user numbers had dropped at least some. I mean even Elon acknowledged that ad revenue was down and user numbers have to affect ad revenue.

I'd heard that it was because certain advertising partners had pulled out of Twitter for various reasons.

You're probably right that user numbers could be having an impact there as well, but I haven't seen any sources that are showing direct evidence that they have dropped
