Ray loses half his Twitter followers in purge of fake accounts

[alien bird]

It's the percentage with Ray more than the number that's interesting. Obama lost 2.5 million but still has 101 million left. Percentage wise it's nothing like Ray lost

Ray Lewis only had a bit more than 700,000 'followers' anyway. It's not as if he was playing in the big leagues. 350,000 fake accounts purchased is 350,000 fake accounts purchased, no matter how many you have total. To me, losing 3 million out of 100 million is still a bigger deal, because it means you had 3 million fake accounts, and probably purchased them. That means Katy Perry probably purchased close to ten times as many fake accounts as Ray Lewis did.

Kathy Ireland, the onetime swimsuit model who presides over a half-billion-dollar licensing empire, lost a whopping 77 percent of her followers between Wednesday and Thursday evening.

LOL, you honestly think someone with 100 million legitimate followers would spend money to get an extra 3%? That’s hilarious.

It wasn’t just fake accounts that were removed. She could lose 3% just through people abandoning accounts or dying. But if half your followers are bogus, that’s pathetic.

I understand Ray Lewis' problem. Nobody would write to me so I started sending myself letters.
Some were rather steamy... Bc

I unfollowed Ray awhile back, just a useless follow. I can get the same inspirational quotes from any 16 year high school girl on Facebook. Just never thought he posted anything interesting

who charles, stay out of trouble

I lost no followers! Guess I'm not interesting enough for trolls and bots ;)

Why do you keep saying purchased? These fake accounts aren't necessarily purchased. I lost about 20 odd followers i think. I didn't purchase them
