Fake Twitter Followers: more and more and becomes more difficult to detect

There are those who can make good use of the opportunities presented to them, and in the Internet world that's a constant. Someone always manages to find a way to take advantage of some service to their own property, and Twitter is one of those platforms that are being very abused today. While Twitter does make a profit through advertisements and sponsored tweets, someone is acting behind the scenes, even far from where the authority of Twitter can get on its own platform. They are the followers false , which are becoming more and are creating a billion dollar industry.

In Twitter, a way of judging how popular a person is through his followers, or to be more exact, by the amount of people that follow it. Of course this is not something anyone can achieve, you can to have a very considerable amount of followers if or when we will be a well-known, famous or celebrity movie or similar. There are websites that promise thousands of followers in exchange for a few dollars. These fans usually come in packs of 1000, although if you have the enough money you can get with many more.

Currently, 1,000 fans cost about $ 18, and it seems that this whole process is very easy to carry out, but do not know how exactly.

Twitter needs to find a way to prevent the automatic creation of fake accounts if you want to avoid this situation.
