One other thing worth pointing out is that right wingers gained a bunch of subscribers. I suspect twitter had a lot of right wingers marked as bots, I guess shadowbanning them and not having them be reflected in the follower counts. When they had to get rid of left wing bots, the numbers were so egregious they had to unshadowban right wingers to compensate so that their bot numbers wouldn't look abysmal.
