DOES JUSTIN HAVE THE MOST "FAKE" TWITTER FOLLOWERS??

As you guys know, Justin was recently named the King of Twitter with 33.3 million followers after defeating Lady Gaga who had 33.2 million followers. Justin´s followers have increased by millions, he has up to 37 million followers af or right now. But does Justin have the most "fake" twitter followers?
According to Socialbakers, 16.7 million followers have empty or fake accounts while 2.6 million are inactive so the 17.8 million followers are apparently "good" accounts which leave Justin at second place after lady Gaga.

This is what socialbakers consider a fake twitter account:
  • The account is following less than 50 people and has less than one follower
  • More than 30% of all tweets use spam phrases, such as “diet,” “make money,” and “work from home”
  • The same tweets are repeated more than three times, even when posted to different accounts
  • More than 90% of the account´s tweets are retweets
  • More than 90% of tweets are links and the profile has a following: followers ratio of 7: 1 or more. This means the profile is following 7 users while only being followed by 1.
  • The account has never tweeted
  • The account is more than two months old and still has a default profile image
The statistics people should by now know that most people have twitter accounts right now because of Justin, I can testify because I am one of those people who joined twitter because I wanted to follow Justin.

I have a twittter account just to see what he is up to, Justin uses twitter to keep us, his beliebers and fans updated on what is going on, it´s his way of communication to us and many beliebers and fans created twitter accounts for the same reason as I did, to follow Justin. Most Beliebers and fans  don´t feel the need to update their statuses all the time or at all, I can bet you they only log in to go to Justin´s page.

So if the Statista people think they should consider such belieber´s and fan´s accounts as fake, then that is their own cup of tea.
