Malicious Bot Attacks Suspended My Twitter
- HenrySav 3y agoHey friends, In the past 3 months, I have managed to grow a Twitter account to around 4000 followers. I've done this by consistently putting in 2-4 hours every single day including weekends, and I was seeing great results with very high engagement. My account was poised to overtake the big names in the space. However, throughout these months, I was plagued by bot follower attacks - my account would get followed by 20k+ bot followers each time these attacks occur. I came to learn that this is a malicious attack where your account get mass reported for spam / manipulation by the attacker. Using custom and off the shelf tools, I worked on removing and preventing these attacks until it happened again recently. Finally, the attackers got what they wanted and my account was permanently suspended. I appealed but it was quickly rejected with zero explanation. Does anyone by any chance have any contacts at Twitter or could assist in the matter?
- BulgarianIdiot 3y agoMy advice is don't throw more good time after bad. Twitter is not worth investing time in. It's going down mid-term.
