This graph is likely from a site proxy (e.g. Cloudflare, but I think the colours are wrong) showing information about incoming requests. Posting bots generally make much less traffic than scrapers (scrapers tend to blindly follow links, while posting bots just make the API requests they want).
I have trouble believing that. This is talking about Twitter as a monolith when it is actually thousands of isolated algorithmic bubbles

will be fascinating to see how long it stays down… and when it comes back up, if ukraine hits again, when it goes down, again
This is about Yandex’s bots, these are web crawlers. This has nothing to do with bots on X.
what makes you assume that? the graph is labelled bot traffic. what am I missing?
