From what I’ve gathered, many of these accounts never actually materialised as they never went through email verification. How many I’m not sure. Nor did any spam problem eventuate (yet?). Either way, it seems the targeted instances are getting on top of the problem.

Fantastic news!

It would seems so, you can see how engagement is still growing regardless of number of accounts declining, that shows spam accounts didn't actually start spamming yet IMO.

But in that case they shouldn't be counted in the account number, do they?
