If you’re on Twitter, how many followers did you lose so far per the purging of fake accounts? One hundred? One thousand? Ten thousand? More or less?
Regardless, don’t be bitter at Twitter even if a sizeable slice of your followers vanished overnight. Remember, you are not alone. Tens of millions of accounts have been affected, including the most popular platform-wide (see below).
Like many Twitter loyalists, I was displeased that a chunk of my followers disappeared last week. But then I realized it’s all for the greater good of the platform and will benefit the overall user experience.
Although you may feel some short-term pain on a micro level (via the loss of fake followers), you will realize long-term gain on a macro level (fewer trolls and bots, less spam and fake news).
Twitter’s efforts to cleanse the platform are being made with a noble goal in mind: enhancing user trust and transparency, while promoting more civil engagement (or “healthy conversation” in Twitter-speak).

Twitter’s latest move to cleanse itself is actually good news in disguise.Twitter stated the following in a company blog post on July 11 regarding the changes:
- “Follower counts are a visible feature, and we want everyone to have confidence that the numbers are meaningful and accurate.”
- “Most people will see a change of four followers or fewer; others with larger follower counts will experience a more significant drop.”
- “We understand this may be hard for some, but we believe accuracy and transparency make Twitter a more trusted service for public conversation.”
