@mikeharmanos that petulant rich child shouldn't be complaining, it isn't his yet
@mikeharmanos after a decade on that platform, I had ventured a guess of 20 to 30 percent. I bet if they dig deeper, there are more, especially counting abandoned and duplicate accounts.
@NoirMagique Sparktoro did a pretty sound methodology on this. “ From May 13-15, 2022, SparkToro and Followerwonk conducted a rigorous, joint analysis of 44,058 public Twitter accounts active in the last 90 days. These accounts were randomly selected, by machine, from a set of 130+ million public, active profiles. Our analysis found that 19.42%, nearly four times Twitter’s Q4 2021 estimate, fit a conservative definition of fake or spam accounts (i.e. our analysis likely undercounts).”
@Ron “Richest” man in the world with the most fake followers. Yeah, that checks…
Follow up: 20% of #Twitter users are fake or spam.
