#GrowthHacking using#BigData is all about. (This is about to get favorited by at least 5 accounts) -

their growth is flat even with fake accounts....assuming it'd be negative without them.

which is worse, negative growth or a negative product?

Of course. Wall Street wants account growth. Twitter could stop bots & trolls w/1 day of coding. Righteous sanctimony is cheaper.
