> Personally I've noticed practically no change.

IME, there's two things that were a bad problem pre-takeover and exploded afterwards: porn spam bots (like bots, follow bots, reply bots) that just acted on keywords in your tweets and Russian disinformation bots that also act on keywords. It has gotten better the last few weeks with the various leaks and a Verfassungsschutz investigation in Germany that uncovered the "Doppelgänger" botnet, but it's still an absurd nuisance.

> In my experience it's really only those who go there for politics that get annoyed by it – perviously it was the right-wingers who were angry because it was too left-wing, and now it's left-wingers who think it's too right-wing.

Well... and brands. Brands don't want their advertisements to appear next to someone showing the Nazi salute, calling for executions or whatever garbage they're pushing, and it is measurable both in financial data as well as in the quality of the ads - it used to be household brands, now it's mostly dropshipping, fake mobile game and cryptocurrency scams.
