if it's identified as a bot then it won't. This change in policy seems to be a move away from that kind of revenue generation. If you're happy with MAU from bots then why bother to identify them?

> if it's identified as a bot then it won't

If Twitter could identify bots, then they wouldn't have this problem at all.

This whole issue exists because they can't identify bots to any degree of accuracy. So now they're cedeing the situation and simply trying to monetize it.

no idea where you're getting that idea from but it's wrong, that is not how you generate revenue from bot accounts if that was the goal
