Misleading headline? The quoted tweet says that 21-29% of traffic on twitter is bots. It doesn't say anything about 29% of traffic having actually measurably stopped, does it? Elsewhere on HN people are pointing out that the "bot traffic" coming from yandex that has stopped is the web scraper bots updating their search engine.

Maybe coincidental, but the campaign of spam calls I get that leave voicemails completely stopped when this data center was hit last Thursday/Friday. Before I was getting 5-6 per day.

Funny how this has been posted everywhere. Some random chart showing drop + "posts supporting trump/musk/afd/etc has dropped n%". Meanwhile from people who is running actual analytics: https://www.facebook.com/mykolas.katkus/posts/pfbid021N4AP8X... Basically no difference. And it shouldn't make a difference. Most of "bot" traffic is routed thru residential proxies and obviously troll farm workers aren't working from DC, but from an office.
