This is as much about bots as his attempt to get out of the acquisition last year was about bots.

What is this about then?

Gradually normalizing a paywall for Twitter in a manner that still preserves the ads, data collection, inability to use third party clients, and the various other downgrades to the service from this year.

My guess is data collection.
