I'm so old, I remember a time when Followers and Retweets mattered on Twitter.

With the algorithms now in place, only big "trusted" accounts who follow few other accounts and don't interact with people get impressions.

I took a look at what is known about twitter's algorithms.

Most important takeaway: Your visibility increases exponentially with the followers / following ratio.

Perfect for someone like Trump who follows only 53 accounts but has 94.1M followers.
