That's to be expected. What remains to be seen is how many of them will stick around after the initial surge.
- Im more curious how many are bots made to look like its booming with traffic
  
  idk. After they dropped invite codes, they started requiring phone numbers for sign up.
  
  Because those aren't incredibly easy to spoof or anything?
  
  Exactly, they aren't.
  
  I registered with a VoIP number that a free app gave me. I doubt they're blocking all the freely available "temp sms" numbers out there.
  
  You can spoof caller ID but you can't spoof a number to receive texts to it. Can you imagine?
  
  I'm one of those people, definitely not a bot. A friend with several invitations to the beta available offered me one a few days ago and then it was opened so I didn't need it
  
  I hope you dont think I was saying it was ONLY bots. Ofc there are humans on there.
  Im jc how many are bots.
