Re:Up to 48M Twitter accounts may be bots on Saturday March 11, 2017 @04:55PM (#13847470)
It feels very discouraging to start out in this space once a given platform reaches a certain level of maturity. For instance, Insta now seems littered with these local service/small-business accounts spamming the most optimised hashtags with inspirational quotes on stock photographs; most engagement seems to come from bots and scripts being used by these same accounts. (Maybe I'm playing the game wrong.)

Does buying 5k followers really help in any way? Won't the more sophisticated users (ideally those whom you'd be targeting as followers) see through this based on your engagement rates, or does having a certain number of followers hold some weight with the algos which leads to your stuff attracting more engagement, followers, etc. in some kind of virtuous cycle?

I second this. David's site opened my eyes to the importance of colour correcting the light coming out of your (off-camera) flashes for artistic effect, and a rough understanding of colour theory is what helps give images that extra "pop"
