Problem being investors do listen to these metrics and nobody really knows how bad the noise is in that data being shared.

I 100% guarantee twitter knows the exact ratio of real to unreal users and their content.

They're also trying to slowly crack down on bots.

A year ago they insta locked your account if it looked like automated liking of content.

Now they're insta locking if you look like a follow/unfollow bot.

Its a balancing act and I feel like its analogous to getting out of extreme debt. They're trying to replace bots as their real user base grows internally.
