It has skyrocketed lately: bots that just follow a bunch of people. And that’s all they do. They always have a female name and an attractive woman as a profile pic. They never make any posts, ever. They always follow hundreds or thousands of other people, and have 10 to 20 followers. As far as I can tell they all joined between July and November of 2023.
What’s the point? It’s gotta be some kind of scam, but what’s the scam?
Edit: I found one that actually made a post! https://i.imgur.com/ukAasU6.png Keep in mind this is the only post they ever made, and it is not in response to anything. It is just a stand-alone post.

It makes it easier to extract data from all of those people they follow, and people they follow. Emulating a user and scraping some user content and the people they follow content, and so on. It can bypass twitter’s api.
