Lots of claims less bot activity but no evidence to back them at this point. Not only is burying research with urban legend bad but so is thinking bots are not still acting in bad faith. Stay alert.
One lesson that a lot of folks still haven't learned: if you see dramatic claims about bots/trolls/fake accounts/disinfo that are unaccompanied by evidence, DO NOT AMPLIFY THEM. That's how real research gets buried under a mountain of urban legends, which ain't a good thing.
