Can confirm. I don't have cable so I relied on the "latest" tab in X. Almost all the traffic was for sites purporting to be showing it live, but weren't because they were some sort of scam.
You get this for Premier League football games too - hundreds of accounts posting "WATCH LIVE!" with hundreds of sketchy URLs. In defence of the current owner, it was like this before he took over and it's not noticeably worse (from my observations - probably is if you do proper analysis, etc.)
I think it is noticeably worse, because some content is now absent (especially cybersec, at least in my timeline).
The only use of twitter i have left is following US sports, and i guarantee you it's worse.
Also, i hve the distinct impression that women left the platform. I think it was already one of the most masculine coded social media, but now with the rebrand (both logo and new name) i would be surprised if the number of non-activist women on it are really, really low.
