Update: Read the comments and be surprised at how many people have at one time or another followed @RichardGrenell and later discovered they were not.https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1219676293333045249 …

Eventual consistancy isn't a bug. It's a feature that lets sharding and replication work reliably. But it's not a "feature" that the people who build and run social networks are proud of...and their management mostly doesn't understand it.

I would flatly say that if you're certain you followed somebody 24 hours ago and you show as not following them now, "eventual consistancy" is not an explanation. It should have converged long before then.

The best way to detect shennanigans would be experiments that span the period of time required for the data store to converge and test the state repeatedly.

Yeah, I'm not saying there are no shennanigans...I'm *certain* myself that there are.

I believe it falls under the incompentence model you champion. Companies losing money, short on staff and subbing their stuff out to $8 an hour Indian firm tend to make mistakes. Or you could just ask Peter T for Jack's cell number and ask him?

I am not a coincidence theorist but I did experience first hand that Twitter isn't exactly great at the tech game.
