        Yes, I get that too. Twitter has always been slow to remove bots because they make the active user base numbers appear bigger.

        And I like #bots and #GrowthHacking because they #inflate my #interaction #ratio with their #growthmindset.

        Can’t be any worse than the people who constantly follow and unfollow each day to try to get you to follow back

        I don't have any spambots linked to my account. If I think "someone" is a bot of any kind I get rid of them ASAP
