@SnepperStepper I did not think of that. My account has been empty for almost a year and it still gains 50+ followers a week - but barely changes in total follower account.
I suspect bot stuffing at twitter, possibly by twitter, to make it seem like it’s not dying. Or forced follows from idle accounts.
(I should check who I follow there in case it’s made me do the same to others)
@NanoRaptor honestly i've noticed a massive uptick in what basically amounts to spam by pointing out the obvious or making dumb and/or generic statements on every platform that has historically been host to those "buy x large number of followers" schemes. Those work by using a bunch if bot accounts to all follow the customer. Those bot accounts have to have some regular user type activity so the platform doesn't autoban them, and i really wonder if this is that.
