I still have an account on Twitter - private, and I don't post there, but otherwise I can't read threads or check out profiles properly which are both useful. That means I get follow request. A lot of follow requests. Like usually about 50-100 a week.
Out of every 100, I reckon 99 are bots. Unless there are a lot of people with pretty avatars and young female names desperate to follow someone whose posts they can't read.
So much for Musk's campaign to rid Twitter of bots, eh?
