What happened on Oct 17? I can't really find anything that would cause such a dramatic uptick on that day specifically.

That was the time we learned about the changes to the block feature.

That, and the TOS update which now requires users to give X blanket permission to use their posts for AI training (previously you could opt-out). Not that AI companies really care whether they have permission right now, but if legal precedent doesn't go their way then coercing users into "giving permission" by burying it within 50 pages of TOS legalese will be the fallback plan.
