It seems to differ from platform to platform. While Reddit's bot activity has not slowed down much, on Twitter the engagement with Reform MPs posts has dropped by around 2/3.

So people are assuming "bot" means what Twitter users refer to as "bots" and "fewer bots" could just be "fewer web crawlers".

I'm just glad for the silence, even if it won't last.

They don't care about bots, they care about things that trigger their cognitive dissonance. If the bot is contributing to their echo chamber, they love it.

Quite the stupid article.

Quick question even if bots go through residential proxies isn't that like last mile thing the command infra remains the same right?

"Not quite true" sounds like another way of saying "true".
