When I find someone on Twitter (X), I usually check the follow ratio, and I don't trust those profiles that have close numbers of followers and following.

They usually apply the tactic "follow for follow". They typically find profiles that follow back. So they have very close numbers of followers and friends.
The second thing I check is their engagements. If someone on Twitter (X) has 100K followers but their posts get only 2 likes, it means their followers are mostly fake. They bought followers! Is that a good idea? No, it is not! ⬇️

So, if you want to audit someone else on Twitter (X) before following, their fake followers, their follow ratio, their inactive followers, etc., are important criteria. So, you can't do them all by yourself. You need Twitter audit tools, and as the best of them, Circleboom has a guide for you!
Audit Someone Else on Twitter (X)
First of all, let's start with fake followers.
I want to audit the X account of Stephen A. Smith:
Go to the "Account Search" on Circleboom. Enter the handle "stephenasmith," and select "Display Followers." Circleboom will list his followers:
Then, I want to see his fake followers. Did you know the filter options on the right side of the page?
Click on that and see the filter options.
When you click "Show Only" for "Fake/Spam Accounts," you will see his fake followers:
Out of more than 6 million followers, 848 is not a considerable number, so I can say it passed the exam for fake followers.
Secondly, I will check his verified followers. As a famous person, he should be followed by many verified accounts.
I select "Show Only" from the same filters for "Verified" accounts. With Circleboom, you can also search for specific verified types like "gold, gray, or blue"
Then, I will apply filters. Circleboom will list all of his verified followers.
Of more than 6 million followers, only 182 verified followers are insufficient. This is not a good signal for this X account.
Thirdly, I want to check his followers without a profile image, as we call eggheads.
From the same filter panel, you will choose "Hide" for "With Profile Image". Then apply this filter, and Circleboom will list egghead followers.
Zero egghead followers! That's an amazing number.
There are many other aspects that you can check and audit someone else on X, such as follower count, location, join date, inactive accounts, etc.
You can make the same searches for the following list. This will be a total Twitter audit with advanced filters, and you can decide whether someone on X is worthy of following.
Final Words
Social media is a great way to connect with people. When you want to follow someone, you want to know if he or she is worthy to follow. There are many ways to audit other accounts; the best is Circleboom.
You can utilize many advanced filters of Circleboom and find out if an X account followed organic ways to grow or if they just bought followers and engagement. This is important because we see accounts with thousands or maybe millions of followers who can still get two likes for their posts.
You can decide whether someone else on X is good to be followed with Circleboom's Audit Tool.
