Twitter’s traffic has plunged since billionaire Elon Musk took control of the social media platform last fall, as longtime tweeters are migrating to alternative platforms such as Meta’s Threads.
In a tweet Sunday, Matthew Prince, CEO of Cloudflare, an internet services company, posted a chart showing Twitter has been on the decline since the start of 2023.
Twitter’s skidding numbers arrive as Meta officially launches Threads, which is widely seen as a new competitor to Twitter and debuted last week.
As of Monday, Twitter is currently ranked 37 in Cloudflare’s list of top 100 domains, which coincides with the unpopular changes Musk has made to the site in recent months and the launch of Threads and other Twitter alternatives.
Twitter, which Musk officially purchased last October, drew the ire of its users earlier this month when the platform set a rate limit on the number of posts different account tiers could read each day, the Guardian reported.
The limit was set at 6,000 daily posts for users who are Twitter Blue subscribers and 600 for nonsubscribers.
Musk has overseen the platform’s various changes, including implementing a different version of Twitter Blue in which users have to pay a monthly subscription to receive a verification check.
Musk also rolled back moderation rules and reinstated previously suspended accounts — notably former President Trump.

WTH is a “weaponized bot?”
Agree
Yup! Ole Elon is finished now......../$
There were automatic responses that tech entities would
push off onto the forum. Weaponized means they targeted
individuals and tried to cause them trouble.
Bots...
Software robots...
You can program your bots to attack Trump on every tweet he makes.
There can’t be that many Lawyer Bubbas.
Actually need to log in to see data, got rid of the bots..
They how many thousands if not hundreds of thousands of bots scraping twitter and other sites to get data for analysis etc.
So I would expect if they have instituted this their traffic would drop significantly as all that traffic will now go away.
A lot of the traffic was bots, I doubt the dropoff is real. And Threads will wither.
Progressive extremists s flocking to Meta NWO censorship.
Quelle surprise
All the nonsense lately with twitter has caused them to loose views. Non members have left twitter behind.
Wait til Trump comes back
without signing up.
I cant read stuff on Twitter anymore
I remember when liberals blamed everything they didn’t like on “russian bots.”
I wish all these cesspools of angst wither into hell.
The second biggest owner of Twitter is the jihadist Saudi royal family, which has been proven in court to have planted employees at Twitter to spy on users.

Musk is a trojan horse for Saudis and Chicoms.
#29 And Threads will wither.
C’mon.... Threads will be as successful as Metaverse...
$40 billion lost so far but but but there is Threads to the rescue. Why combined they will make a fortune!!
Might also be a price of Elon throttling bot accounts that just scrape data… he quality of traffic is still there and fewer bots is less strain on the servers.
Which, from an above thread, is rife with human trafficking threads. Anybody see a definite correlation?
If Musk wants to increase the traffic to his forum, he needs to increase the traffic of children. /s
