You will probably see follower count drop – Elon Musk announces Twitter will remove inactive accounts

Elon Musk announces that Twitter will remove inactive accounts which will probably make followers count drop.

Since taking over the twitter officially this year, Elon Musk  has made radical changes to Twitter.

Twitter last month removed the legacy verified blue tick from the profile of thousands of people, including celebrities, journalists and prominent politicians.

Musk has made account verification a part of Twitter’s Blue subscription, a move he said would tackle the issue of bot accounts on the social media platform.

Monday, Musk added that users on the micro-blogging platform could see a drop in follower count due to disabling of inactive accounts.

Meaning that Twitter accounts that have been inactive for several years will be removed.

Twitter’s policy states that users should log in to their account at least once every 30 days to avoid permanent removal due to prolonged inactivity.

We’re purging accounts that have had no activity at all for several years, so you will probably see follower count drop
