Anyone expecting rapid product changes within the next 6-12 months?

My bold bet: he will immediately change the default from free to a subscription. This is the only true way to deal with bots, grow the business rapidly, and free culture from the editorial leverage of advertisers all at the same time.

Why will charging money get rid of bots or solve the bot problem? If there is value in having bots then people will pay the fee, and pass that cost through? It will raise the price of having bots, but how will it solve the problem? (I have no idea what I’m talking about, just curious)

It's a numbers issue - a platform with 50% bots is an issue, but 5% bots is probably not as big of an issue, and 0.5% is most definitely acceptable. Depends on your belief on if 0.01$ / 0.1$ / 1$ can produce x% of reduction in bots
