    The article goes through some of the available data and doesn’t make hard conclusions, nothing that many of the accounts with no followers or posts are likely lurkers, amongst the bots and others.

      Yeah I noticed that, I think a lot of accounts that appear to be bots or empty are just lurkers like me. It’s still the best place for sports news and updates.

        If you read the article, they point out that a lot of these accounts don’t follow anyone but Musk. I would think that people following sports would be following sports-related accounts.
