In his first tweet @geoffgolberg claims he pulled 5.5k tweets from tweeter about #weSupportPolandsSummit and 6.6k twitter accounts tweeted or were mentioned in these tweets. This tells us nothing about the hashtag been gamed or filled with bots.
Without any reasonable and technical arguments and just with dropping 2 graphs and a list of twitter accounts with daily rate tweets he claims the hashtag was filled/promoted "gamed" by bots.🧐

Over 88% retweets. Very high figure, suspiciously high for organic traffic, but not the highest I've seen (some of the Saudi bot spikes after the Khashoggi murder generated over 95% retweets).
And a suspiciously high number of posts per user, too. About 4.5 ppu. That's double the kind of level which is typical of organic traffic.
Could be bots, or troll teams trying to game the trending algorithm.
