        Do you want to spend time engaging with a bot? Listening to the opinions of a bot or Macedonian teenager pretending to be an African American conservative? Russian Twitter accounts acting as Americans spewed fake "news" & swerved public opinion.

        Fake bot accounts don't represent "growth" except I suppose if you are using that term in reference to the cancer they actually are.

        Oh course, unless you also have investments in said bot farms. Then who is your client? Someone is paying these guys to do what they do. Twitter is the host carcass

        Is it really growth if they are all fake & busy hating on others? Best to get rid of fake accounts who don't have anyone's best interest at heart.

        Start with the POTUS tweets. More than half of the comments are from bots singing his praises.

        False User trust and authenticity = more loyal users and growth. This website started sucking bad when the bots and Russian trolls came in

        1- Twitter is doing the right thing and getting better 👏 2- Don’t understand how removing fake accounts affects real growth, only hurts “false growth”, removal increases user trust & platform authenticity which should be the true measure of a social media company’s value https://twitter.com/cbsnews/status/1015412592066617344 …
