Yes I know. But the platform has lots and lots of engagement. Stagnation did not happen. Quite the opposite.

When I finally left Twitter most of the engagement was obviously bots either repeating other tweets or spamming unrelated dross on high activity threads for engagement farming. The number is high, but the quality is negligible.

    But then people came back. The "For you" tab has been much more interesting for me than previously and in my industry I see tons of interesting content.

    Again, I hate what EM did to Twitter but there's that.
