    How much did human usage drop? Because there are a shitload more bots on twitter nowadays than there were in the years before he took over.

      I suspect even more than 30%, and by a lot. Nearly all of the communities that once thrived seem to be dead. It feels very empty.

      This should be human usage - the user survey was done by phone.

        Ah, ok, 27% -> 19%, an 8% YoY drop, and the numbers were obtained using identical methodologies across multiple years. Yeah, I agree, seems to check out.

        Still, there are definitely a shitload more bots than there were before.
