Am I getting attacked by malicious bots?

[thagh0st]

My account always fluctuates to around +100 followers, but at around the same time every day (around when I post)
the followers go down around -100 followers. It's strange because the time that it happens changes based on my posting
times from what I've seen. When these follower numbers fluctuate, I don't see anything about it on my notifications (no follow notis).

This has been happening for almost a year now, in which I did not grow in followers at all.
I broke 100k followers last year, and have been at a complete standstill since then.
I mostly thought that it was due to all the algorithm fuckery, especially to nsfw content (which my page is).

But to be this stagnant, I feel like there's something else going on so I want to ask if anyone might know:
Are they blocking me or unfollowing me to hurt my reach?
Are these just bots getting suspended every day, and then re-verifying whatever to get their accounts back?
Or another reason perhaps?

i can't say anything definitive without seeing the account, but i have to say that the algorithm doesn't seem to be working very well for you right now. you could try resharing an old post that went viral and check the unfollow rate again to test it

I think these days, there's a huge bot purge so everyone is losing followers. It's really hard to pinpoint what the actual deal is since elon took over
