How did this account get 2.1M followers?

[bartosimpsonio]

So she's a teacher and posts other people's content

Gets 2.1M followers?

How?

She's probably making 4 to 5 figs a month monetization and she produces zero content. How do you grow an account like this?

BTW it's a 4 year old account. She started after the pandemic.

Maybe consistency of posting

It could be a global account that has received a lot of interaction.

Maybe buyed followers?

Yes, it's important to post regularly and make sure the content is interesting to viewers. Although that's not always the case—these days, people mindlessly like every video

 

[heeno21]

Maybe buyed followers?

By the way, yes, maybe

 

[lukem121]

maybe their paid followers? hard to tell but if you take a look you can see some potential

 

[ravikantrathor]

Honestly accounts like TheFigen grow because they are consistent with curation and they pick content that already has emotional pull. The content is not theirs but the niche selection and consistency is what builds the audience. Paid followers is possible too but 4 years of posting daily in a single niche can definitely do that organically.

May feel unfair but these days no one really cares about checking if content is unique... if it's interesting, they'll engage. And what do you know? People love memes

I am also curious about this. From what I have seen, accounts like this usually focus more on content curation + consistency rather than original content. If the content is highly shareable and posted regularly, it can grow fast. Also feels like timing and understanding what type of posts go viral plays a big role. Still trying to figure it out myself, but it doesn’t look as “easy” as it seems from outside.

She's just posting other people's content without credit most the time. I wonder how much she makes in revenue share while the content creators get zero?

 

[bartosimpsonio]

Wow it's 2.7 million followers now. She got 600k followers in 10 days

Looking at her history, she created the account in August 2022, but did not post anything until January 2023

You would see alot of replied and no tweets. All of the previous tweets are deleted. My guess this is probably an aged account.

This is her first post that got so many likes:

I would have guessed she paid an ad or promote her channel or she is using some kind of bots or engagement stuff going on. Not sure.

Then if you look at August 2023, you would see she begins to actively tweet video content that she is getting alot of engagement. Not sure if its because she subscribed to twitter/x premium. You could probably interpret it

How do you know it's really "she", lol. Could be a guy behind this account. I mean it's reposted content and all.

She just figured out that curation is the ultimate hack for lazy engagement. It’s wild how much cash you can rake in just by reposting viral clips while doing absolutely zero real work
