This is part of the reason why I detest Twitter's leadership. It's the tyranny of selectively enforcing the rules and hiding behind it. If someone tells me the same dozen or so twitter handles that always manage to chime in at the top of just about every trending social topic are authentic, I simply won't believe them. Why aren't these banned?

Well I can't disagree with that. It is endemic of Google, YouTube, Amazon, Facebook, Apple etc.

When these companies deal with the sheer volume of users they have they hide behind rules that are judged via algorithm and are not able to be evaluated or appealed unless you get enough attention on social media.

It is yet another argument for the elimination of them. If they can't manage themselves then they shouldn't be running.
