The quoted tweet says that 21-29% of traffic on twitter is bots.
It doesn't say anything about 29% of traffic having actually measurably stopped, does it?
Elsewhere on HN people are pointing out that the "bot traffic" coming from yandex that has stopped is the web scraper bots updating their search engine.
That isn't even the headline for me. This is what I see:
Far-right bot accounts ‘fall silent’ as Ukraine strikes cripple Russian data centres
This is the second time today that an article on this subject was submitted to hn with an adulterated title. It's too bad too because it's an interesting subject even without the incorrect/bait titles.
Maybe coincidental, but the campaign of spam calls I get that leave voicemails completely stopped when this data center was hit last Thursday/Friday. Before I was getting 5-6 per day.
Basically no difference. And it shouldn't make a difference. Most of "bot" traffic is routed thru residential proxies and obviously troll farm workers aren't working from DC, but from an office.
