Just think of all those lovely robots who won't be happy until Justin Bieber marries them!

So, what we're saying here is that Justin Bieber has more bots at his disposal than Dr. Wily?

next time we get a spambot, we should ask them if they're a belieber. if the past is anything to go by, i don't think we'll get an answer from them that doesn't involve diet pills and lots of words

Friendly Dictator So what can be superior when compared with paying out half the price for brand name children? wow, if brand name children are on sale, maybe i can stop buying all these cheap knockoff children Bibby OK... even I'll admit that the Oakland Raiders' performance might be a valid reason to use the interesting words. |

It probably counts me as a fake follower because he was one of my followbacks... you know... when I actively did those.
Also, yeah, Justin Bieber follows me on Twitter, so that's a bit of information that nobody cares about. |

looks like this is just calculating spambots and it makes perfect sense that they'd follow popular twitter accounts as it makes them seem more real (even though they're completely obvious, i've seen quite a few myself)
would be pretty interesting to see if they could make an account popular through spambots alone- the least popular person on that graph is at 18.2 followers, and if jbeiber has 17 million spam followers then it'd definitely be possible i've also heard of politicians using fake accounts to boost their follower count on twitter as well- kinda weird that this'd be something that they'd invest any time in but it'd be interesting to see a study that can find all fake accounts (not just spam ones), even if it wasn't 100% accurate |
