Here is a YouTube comment:

Twitter also unfollows your followers randomly. one of my followers has refollowed me like 5 times. and I talk to him on hangouts. I notice sometimes I have to refollow people I have been following, but it's hard to catch unless someone else retweets then or something

Yeah, now I realize this is EXACTLY what they have been doing to me. Just a few weeks before the election my Twitter followers exploded from around 200 to over 650. Since then, despite at least 3 to 7 new followers per day, my total number of followers has still hovered around 650 (655 right now) when I should have close to 1000 followers. I am now sure that Twitter is unfollowing my followers.

Twitter is a mostly useless platform. I mute app. 9 out of 10 followers, as they tweet way too much and add little substance. Also their advertising is terrible; it’s repetitive and has zero to do with my taste.

I’ve had vanishing followers, hard for me to detect, I have over 7,500.

None of mine are “un-filtered” I look at each one of them and their tweets before I follow them.

When I post stuff that freak out the Left or the Islamist, I have a bunch of new followers who have low tweet, and bogus following & followers. I block them.

I block all who try to sell me followers and I block porn followers. And I have a huge list of Trolls that I have blocked. And I block the MGWV nonsense followers. (I have a huge list of blocked accounts)

I believe that more than 50% of the users on twitter are Bots or troll accounts.

In spite of that, I intend to keep using Twitter. There is a lot of breaking news that starts there.
