See Exactly How Fake Twitter Followers Are
My wife and I have roughly the same number of Twitter followers – 16 and 14 thousand, respectively, but her tweets consistently surpass mine. In fact, according to the SparkScore tool from Twitter marketing service SparkToro, the average tweet from her gets three times as many retweets and ten times as many favorites.
How could this happen? Could her tweets be objectively better than mine? What if my ego refuses to accept it? What if it’s my subscribers’ fault? SparkToro has another tool, Fake Follower Audit , which allows you to check how much of any Twitter user’s audience is real.
This seems to explain: I have severe bot infestation, abandoned accounts and other dead weight.
On the other hand, my wife has very real followers.
So, I sit on the throne of lies. And yet I have enough real followers that I should get more favorites and retweets. I must be bad at Twitter, or misunderstood at the time.
To feel better, I looked at Cher to see how many of her 3.5 million followers are bots. It was a terrible idea.
Cher has 22% fake followers compared to my 24%, but SparkToro gives her more respect as huge accounts like her tend to have a very high average fake rate. She’s literally out of the SparkScore chart.
SparkToro won’t help you get rid of fake followers; you have to spend money on it . It’s just a great place to take a screenshot and mock someone whose opinion you don’t like. But first, make sure they can’t turn it against you. Don’t use this on Cher.
