I feel like there are 4 types of Twitter users: 1) bots, 2) influencers that heavily use automation to the point where they are almost the same as a bot, 3) famous/popular that are somewhat to mostly real, but have someone else managing their account for them, 4) real people who think 1-3 are all real that gained their followers organically.
Probably most users fall on categories 1 and 4 above, although most of Twitter traffic is probably generated by tweets of 2 and 3.

- ta6382936526 6y agoFrom my experience with the full graph, it's closer to 80% bots (both tweets and users). My knowledge may be dated, though.
- klysm 6y agoYou mean both 80% of the users are bots and 80% of the tweets are from bots? I would find that fairly surprising that bots and users work out to be the same proportion in both of those.
- rozab 6y agoWell if a bot wanted to mimic normal user behaviour, the first step would be tweeting the same amount
- ta1234567890 6y agoYou are right, guess I meant to say at least 45-60% are bots. It almost feels like playing a video game where most other characters are NPCs pretending to be real users.
