The bots/trolls generate fake activity, so Twitter may seem a little less lively, but actually it’s just that the fakery is gone

However, some critics are skeptical about how effective the changes will be. In the past, Twitter has struggled to effectively combat bots and spam, and it remains to be seen if the new measures will be any more successful.
Elon has been pushing for his new subscription service, #Twitter Blue, which will allow users to pay a monthly fee to access certain features along with Blue checkmark a way to combat bots/spam by de-prioritizing them in the timeline and make it costly to run them. This is a way to make money off of the platform, and it is unclear how effective the new measures will be.
Additionally, some users are concerned about the potential for false positives, where legitimate accounts are mistakenly flagged as bots and removed from the platform. Twitter has not yet addressed this issue, and it is unclear how the company plans to prevent this from happening.
Overall, the response to the announcement has been mixed. While some users are excited about the potential for a cleaner, spam-free Twitter, others are wary of the potential consequences of the changes. It remains to be seen how effective the new measures will be.
