Prepare To See Drop In Celebrity Twitter Followers

Business Insider reports that Twitter is about to make a major change in its follower count.
The social media giant says ‘locked’ accounts no longer count towards follower numbers.
Locked accounts have been frozen, but not deleted, due to a sudden change in user behavior.
this means several celebrities will probably see a big dip in their followers.
Individuals such as Katy Perry, Barack Obama and Donald Trump could see a sharp drop.
A spokesman said the changes would impact tens of millions of accounts.
The company has also been trying to hone in on suspicious accounts over the past 2 months.
Its share price is down over 8%, with investors fearing the change could hurt Twitter’s growth metrics.
