Bill Carmody points out that buying Twitter followers actually hurts you more than it helps.
- Those followers are usually bots or disinterested accounts, so they never engage (likes, replies, retweets).
- Low engagement on a larger follower base signals to the algorithm that your content is weak, so your real audience sees you less.
- You cannot monetize or build trust with fake followers, so your “big” audience does nothing for your business.
- It can damage credibility when brands or savvy users notice your follower/engagement mismatch.
