If you're a Twitter user you might have heard or seen on your account the number of followers go down. For some of us, those numbers might be minimal. I have a Twitter account @NKYSports which I use in connection with one of my High School sports website NKYSports.com. Last week I had about 6,070 followers. That number today is down about 100. But I have heard users who have followers over 50K, 100K, etc. losing thousands and thousands of "so-called" followers.
So what happened? Twitter has started cleaning accounts due to fake news scandals and data privacy. That equates to about 1 million accounts the past quarter (2nd Q of 2018). Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey says improving the health of the platform is critical for future growth.
Twitter has been a great tool for my website, but I also like getting updates sent directly to my phone to get the latest news, sports, weather, etc. I know what to believe and not to believe as well! Fake news is every where, always will be.
Do you have a Twitter account? What do you like and/or dislike about it?
