The conservative influencer, who had been zealously tweeting about the dangers of foreign tech workers, discovered her posts suddenly receiving mere human levels of engagement after her top 50,000 "heartland American" followers mysteriously went offline during the India vs Pakistan cricket final (a traditional American sport played exclusively in places like Texas and definitely not the subcontinent).

A downtick in bot activity during a cricket match could mean Australian or New Zealand disinformation sources.
