Source of this is from Matthew Prince, Co-founder & CEO of Cloudflare posted at 11:34 Jul 9,2023. It was posted to his twitter (@eastdakota). Not linking to twitter bc don’t want a deadlink next time twitter makes API changes. And not to drive traffic to twitter :D
Edit: July 11th update, arstechnica published a detailed explanation
Feels like a “no shit, Sherlock” headline but good to see hard proof. Disappointed in it only being a small amount tho
Where on the radar dashboard can I see that exact graph?
You’d have to make some API calls after you apply for a token. I am trying to replicate the graph for myself as we speak. Didn’t know Cloudflare had this gold mine:
Cloudflare Radar has an API that gives access to Cloudflare’s data on global Internet traffic..
Radar’s API is free, allowing academics, data sleuths and other web enthusiasts to investigate Internet usage across the globe.
oh god, hopefully Musk can sue his way into making more people use it!! /s
While I would love to see Twitter auguring straight into the ground, Twitter’s API changes would explain some portion of this traffic changes. I wonder if there are any other proxy measures for audience engagement as separate from basic traffic
Does Twitter use Cloudflare? I hate anything Elon and want him to fail, but it would be kinda crazy for the CEO of a company I use services with to broadcast an embarrassing indicator to the world that my business isn’t going well.
I just deleted my Facebook and Twitter.
Like just now? Why both?
