New account follows a lot quickly, but doesn't have followers

New account that with time never ever tweets, only retweets and follows

New account that starts and then immediately follows just a single person ever.

Both of these are also the behavior of people who use Twitter simply as a content stream. They pretty accurately describe how I use Twitter.

So no one will see the tweets you already aren't tweeting?
Given the penalty is limited reach, sounds like there'd be no effect on your use case.
