        As everyone else is saying, you've equated users with user numbers. They are not the same thing.

        Which reminds me I need to delete my unused accounts, because it's sensible & we need to send them a message that we don't like bots, troll farms and coddling of Nazis

        A lot of Russian bots getting zapped? Or just ordinary users tired of the toxic cesspool one has to continuously fight to keep it from becoming?

        Well - removing bots and fake accounts doesn’t really count as losing “users”.

        #Twitter would lose 50+ million more if the company would purge the #Trump robot followers.
