How to Spot the New Wave of Inauthentic Accounts 


1. They regularly comment on high profile accounts (check any of Dan’s latest casts)
2. This group has about ~700 followers each
3. They all have connected Twitter accounts that end in numbers
4. Mostly blank bios
5. Their casts seems legit…it’s because they are automatically reposting trending content as if it’s their own. 

I don’t know their agenda. I don’t know their endgame. But they have one.  

The best thing you can do is BLOCK them so you can’t accidentally give them interaction (aka social credit). 

The good news is the spam algorithm is catching 99% of them, but I always read “show more replies” so I see them.

That’s my fear. They have a goal, we just don’t know what it is. And they may “sleep” for a long time and hope to gain real followers to look authentic.

Exactly — their goal isn’t clear at all, and it just seems like they’re out to scam people.

I wish they’d channel all this energy into something good.
