This article reads like an opportunistic advertisement for Weibo, using the Twitter turmoil to say "Come to Weibo and you'll get more followers and also money maybe?". As another user commented, "Sixth Tone" is a state-owned English language media outlet. It reminds me of TikTok where people would join and suddenly 'go viral' with tons of views. Real or not, that mechanism acts to hook new users. On a side note, I've never been able to access content on Weibo at all (including those mentioned in the article). Links go to some looping Sina Visitor System.
