Which is nonsense, since the numbers in question are not verifiable.
How can you identify a "spam account"? It's not possible to definitively determine the intent of someone opening or using a new account.
So the numbers are arguable either way. Musk is using this fact to try to wriggle out of a disastrous impulse buy.
- smaryjerry 4y agoIt’s not that subjective anyone using twitter still sees spam accounts promoting a website, business, product, or scam on every post. Twitter just said they remove 1M spam accounts each day. Their mDAU is claimed to be around 200M. This means they are deleting around half a percent of their users every single day. That seems like a lot to be identifying to me, but doesn't really determine if they are deleting enough or not but does show me that being higher than 5% is very possible when you have to delete that many accounts every 10 days.
- freemint 4y agoWhy do you think Twitter list accounts it knows to be bots as mDAU? Those are very different categories.
- smaryjerry 4y agoI’m not saying they are. I’m saying that they are banning enough bots to make up 5 percent every 10 days. With that amount of bots being banned, the possibility of that amount also being missed from being banned is substantial.
