Serious question: Has anyone seen any indication that Mu*k is taking seriously the effort to quash bot accounts? I've not heard a peep about this since he took over, and yet according to him the bot problem was so nebulously bad after he got a look under the hood that he didn't want to buy the company. Barring any unannounced action on birdsite's part recently to tame the bots, it seems likely the problem is worse than ever given recent changes. Certainly feels that way.

So, what do you think: are tubas real?

The guy’s plan to find bots is to see which accounts are still active after he runs the website into the ground.
