UPDATE: there is an update comment below. Each dot is a tweet.

Log scale makes the decrease a lot less apparent, but it is 5-10 fold across the board.

Edit: Just came to mind, that it isn't fully representative of the true expected decrease. Since posts would likely be viewed for days, or weeks, depending on algorithms. Data-wise, it should smoothly-ish decrease towards today. Guess time will tell.

    UPDATE: I improved the botchy scraper a lot. Data is now much more nice. With a bigger sample size.

    The only things that are visible: Dip from Oct 9, but genuine unpopularity / noise can explain it. The strong dip of views from Oct 9 that did not stop: might actually just be ruski bots that were scraping the twitter owner for financial advise and/or other.

    Seemingly, nothing new on the western front.
