I saw that. I'm saying that while this bot farm may be new, this was a longstanding problem for years, even under the "fully-staffed" Twitter. And clearly, not all of this problem can be attributed to bots, since I saw this on practically every hashtag including non-political ones.

Nobody is saying the problem is new. What is new is that Twitter’s capacity to deal with it has been largely dismantled by Elon.

On that, I agree.
