How do you check if someone's Twitter followers are fake or real?

. 4 min read

I always ask when I see a Twitter account with almost 0 content but many followers "Are all these followers real?"

It's a question that crossed my mind recently when I encountered a user with an unusually high number of followers but very little engagement on their tweets. Suspicion crept in, and I decided to investigate further to see if the account was a scam.

Identifying Suspicious Followers and Manual Verification Challenges

There were several red flags that made me question the authenticity of the account's followers. The high follower count didn't match the low engagement rate on their posts. It seemed unlikely that an account with tens of thousands of followers would get only a handful of likes and retweets on their content. This discrepancy led me to suspect that many of the followers might be fake.

To understand whether the account's followers were genuine or not, I began by manually checking the followers. This involved scrolling through the follower list and looking for signs of fake accounts, such as incomplete profiles, lack of profile pictures, or followers with nonsensical usernames. However, this process was incredibly time-consuming and tedious. Moreover, it was nearly impossible to analyze thousands of followers manually.
