What does this service do exactly? Why does it need to have write access to the account if it's only a stat thing?

Looks like they run a followers scam as well with the promoted twitter account. How can they guarantee 1% views conversion. They probably make accounts that sign up for their service secretly follow the promoted accounts.

I don't know - I don't use it myself. I think many apps require write access to advertise themselves with occasional tweets.

Growth hacking. It announces what your count is when you use it the first time. Or maybe all times? I forget, it's been a while.

For one reason or another, my account doesn't seem to have done anything shady yet. Pretty sure I've used twitter counter in the past.
