Since EM took over Twitter, my Twitter engagement level is like 1/3 - 1/5 less.

Don Winslow just did a tweet about this, and I was blown away by the endless comments from people who have noticed this.

Have you also noticed an apparent de-boosting of your account? #Deboost
Just look at these comments:

So, I just took a look at my Twitter analytics - pre-Musk, I was getting over 10 million impressions in a 3 month period. Now I get about 1/3 of that.🤔
