Source of this is from Matthew Prince, Co-founder & CEO of Cloudflare posted at 11:34 Jul 9,2023. It was posted to his twitter (@eastdakota). Not linking to twitter bc don't want a deadlink next time twitter makes API changes. And not to drive traffic to twitter :D
Edit: July 11th update, arstechnica published a detailed explanation
While I would love to see Twitter auguring straight into the ground, Twitter’s API changes would explain some portion of this traffic changes. I wonder if there are any other proxy measures for audience engagement as separate from basic traffic
Between the egregious API pricing and the recent login requirement, this traffic graph makes perfect sense.
I agree that we need some measure of actual engaged human beings before we start dancing on twitter’s grave.
very good point
