I've noticed recently, my new followers have gone from being much more (net) to now losing verified followers.

Not sure if this is Elon doing it to justify paying people less, or whether a lot of verified accounts are bots and they are being removed?

A drop means you've inactive followers.

Now both my Verified Followers and Active Followers (new stat) are growing.

Overall followers dropping though - which sounds like it's due to bots / inactive accounts being removed.

You are both replying at different states of the thread - like you're trying to bump up your reply count.

Neither make sense.

Yeah noticed the same lately, probably a mix of inactive/bot verified accounts getting cleaned up and people cancelling premium subs.

I noticed this too. Used to gain verified followers daily, now I’m losing them. Could be bot removals, people cancelling Premium, or X changing the algorithm again.

Strange - my verified followers is now growing again.

Yet my overall followers is dropping.

I guess it could be people paying to become Premium.

Active followers dropping a lot too.
