These numbers are legitimately shocking.

      I think the implication is some of these bots are meant to make twitter are used to fake twitter’s engagement numbers.
      When they pitch to a customer (to sell ad space), it looks good on paper.
      Then they but ad space, but fail to convert anything from it because it’s just bots.
      TL;DR: Twitter is kinda scamming advertisers
