In response to the news, the singer&#8217;s account lost more than 200,000 followers, and her account gained thousands of followers. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has gained thousands of followers. But is this the real reason why Katy Perry lost followers? The social media site has not yet taken action against spam accounts. But some people still think it is true.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Katy_Perry_loses_more_than_200000_followers\"><\/span>Katy Perry loses more than 200,000 followers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A recent NBC News report overestimated the drop in Twitter followers among prominent conservative and liberal users. The report said former president Barack Obama lost more than 300,000 followers in a day and singer Katy Perry lost more than 200,000. But Twitter has removed many fake accounts from its service, which helped users inflate their followings and social influence. A recent report by former NBC News contributor Ben Collins shows the drop in Twitter followers is more than 2%.<\/p>\n<p>The new Twitter owner, Elon Musk, has taken down millions of locked accounts. The top ten most popular accounts lost two million followers, while Katy Perry lost more than 200,000. However, the singer remains the biggest Twitter account. The loss of followers is the result of a crackdown on spam and bot accounts by the social media platform. In response, Twitter has made a series of changes to its policy. The company says it has banned millions of accounts. The changes affect accounts across the platform.<\/p>\n<p>After the new rules took effect, Twitter has begun deleting locked accounts. The change will affect millions of accounts and may have affected the number of followers on both Katy Perry and Barack Obama. Twitter said on Wednesday that locked accounts would no longer count toward followers, retweets, and likes. According to The Times, the resulting purge could lead to a significant drop in followers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Katy_Perrys_account_gains_more_than_200000_followers_after_the_news_broke\"><\/span>Katy Perry&#8217;s account gains more than 200,000 followers after the news broke<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The news of Katy Perry&#8217;s alleged copyright infringement prompted fans to share a number of photos of the pop star on her Instagram account. Fans were shocked to see the photos and comments and even posted their own. Fans posted colorful costumes, dog pictures, and travel photos. These types of photos did much better than the promotional materials Katy Perry usually posts. However, this recent trend is not limited to the pop star. Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber have also been subjected to such abuse.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2009, Katy Perry has maintained a steady presence in the public eye and has released two singles under the &#8216;Witness&#8217; album. In 2016, the singer gained more than 40 million followers on Twitter, making her the reigning Twitter queen. Despite her large following, her account has been plagued by bots and fake accounts. In fact, a recent audit conducted by Digital Spy found that only 32 percent of her Instagram followers are real. In contrast, the singer&#8217;s closest personal photo dates back to the early 2000s.<\/p>\n<p>The latest Twitter follower purge has impacted a number of high-profile accounts. President Trump lost 400,000 followers and Barack Obama lost more than two million. Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian&#8217;s followers fell by 1.7 million. The Kardashian clan also saw their followers decline in the past week, while Katy Perry&#8217;s account gained more than 200,000 after the news broke. In an attempt to protect its users, Twitter has changed its follower count to identify suspicious and fake accounts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trumps_account_gains_thousands_of_followers\"><\/span>Trump&#8217;s account gains thousands of followers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Thousands of new followers are joining President Donald Trump&#8217;s Twitter profile each day. The president has amassed more than eighty million followers. He gained almost 1.7 million followers over the past month, making him the eighth most followed account on the platform. Since the election, Trump has tweeted more than five thousand times. During the past month, his account has gained an average of 55,515 followers daily, according to a report by SocialRank.<\/p>\n<p>Several theories have surfaced about how Trump is gaining so many followers. One is that he is buying these followers. Some Twitter users have said that Trump&#8217;s account is fake, while others have claimed that it is real. In addition to Trump, the accounts of celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry, CNN Breaking News, and others have gained thousands of followers. It&#8217;s unclear whether any of these accounts are real, and it remains to be seen whether or not Twitter will do anything to prevent this from happening again.<\/p>\n<p>The numbers of Trump&#8217;s followers on Twitter are surprising. Some have pictures of themselves, while others have not tweeted in years. There are a variety of reasons for the sudden influx of Twitter bots, but most likely the reason for Trump&#8217;s unusual growth is that someone was trying to get him booted from the platform. And some of these bots are even pro-Trump, boosting Trump&#8217;s tweets.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/946rkAxnnH4\" height=\"264\" width=\"472\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Many Twitter Followers Has Katy Perry Lost?
