How to Remove Bot/Fake/Inactive/Ghost Twitter followers?
Inactive accounts that do not interact with your Twitter account are known as ghost followers. These accounts may have been created by spammers or bots, and they simply follow you on Twitter without ever engaging with you. It’s advisable to get rid of fake Twitter followers and protect your account from spammers.
Now, the question is, how can you distinguish between a ghost, bot, fake, and inactive Twitter followers?
I would say that none of them really contribute to your tweets in any way. They add to your Twitter following numbers with no benefit of actually following them or being followed by them. They have only numerical existence.
Why should you bother to remove fake and ghost Twitter followers?
Firstly, because they are inactive or dead accounts, you have no reason to follow them. You do not see any valuable content from them or maybe any content at all.
Secondly, if you’re an avid Twitter user who cares about his tweet engagement then these accounts give you false analytics. They may make a deceptive contribution to your insights.
Let’s just say that you have 6k Twitter followers. A Twitter audit shows you that 65% of your Twitter followers are either ghost followers or inactive accounts.
A quick calculation would tell you that almost 4000 of your followers have been worthless while you have been expecting retweets and likes from them.
So, when your like percentage is 2% in your Twitter analytics, it’s actually 6% because more than half of your followers are bots or spam accounts.
Hence, rather than having a big number of fake and inactive followers in your account, it’s better to grow actual Twitter followers. And, remove ghost Twitter followers.
