Twitter Traffic Tanking

Well, treat it as another data point. The biggest issue Twitter is facing yet is the fact it's losing billions a year and no solution in sight to mitigate those losses.

In part probably because:

1. Twitter is showing individual tweets without login again.

2. It also spills out user profile pages and some other details if you go through the tweet embedding format, but also if you add some headers in requests for normal pages (like declaring you're Googlebot).

The way Twitter's changes are implemented are haphazard and quickly worked around. Not to mention partially reverted after user outcry.

It's all just Elon Musk noise. This is not how you run a company.

There may have been a spike in interest in Twitter around October 2022, when Musk bought it. And this is now coming down to the "usual". But I think it's not just that. Would be curious to see trend from last 24 mo as well.

This is the CEO of Cloudflare BTW. He wouldn't post this as bait for the likes. I believe at the very least he finds this a reasonable and telling trend.
