"Suspiciously low tweet/follower count" seems like an awfully low bar to set for claiming that it's a bunch of bot accounts. Not everyone spends their life making posts on social media.

It is weird that there are dozens of account with fewer than 20 followers making these posts. The video makes it a bit clearer: https://twitter.com/samiswine/status/1078419803465953280

That's why they used a ratio instead of pure volume numbers. Why are so many people following these accounts that don't even tweet?

[gammateam]

the point is that using ratios to determine engagement doesn't mean that an account is fake or a bot, or that the followers are fake or bought.

people mistakenly believe even influencers have bot or bought followers, just because their engagement is low

its just a poor metric to make a conclusion, and you'll have to accept that nobody knows anything
