Re:Some Fresh Twitter Stats (as of July 2012, Dataset Included) by damncabbage on Tuesday July 31, 2012 @02:08AM (#4315952)
I never see these accounts when using the Twitter website, but always when I'm using Tweetbot.

I'm guessing there's a layer in between that clears it up for Twitter's own tools, and the third-party tools are left to clean up the stream themselves.

(On the other hand, Tweetbot has no in-stream ads, which mean both of these things are happening in the same "post-processing" layer.)
