Followers of what? Pls try an be elaborate so you can get the required answer to your issue.  Well if you talking of your personal twitter account. that you losing followers that could be due to the fact that some of your followers where not followed back by you probably you ought to reciprocate the gesture or again they could have been a bot account.

Twitter is in the process of deleting 1000s of accounts that violate the rules. You are losing followers because their twitter accounts are getting suspended. Most probably due to ICO promotion on twitter.

Twitter make a purge from time to time (every 3-4 years about) and remove all the fake accounts. And that's it, your followers count decreased because your followers were fake accounts
@Pmalek
Twitter isn't going to suspend an account because the person tweeted about an altcoin or ICO :D :D :D

I'm also pretty sure that most bounty hunters are using follow4follow websites, groups, or hashtags to quickly get followers and get more stakes in their bounties.

From time to time, a big part of those accounts will either stop following you (they follow4follow until they get a good number and start unfollowing everybody) or just get banned/restricted by Twitter for breaking their ToS. That's why the numbers are always going down.

Twitter lately is banning or suspending many accounts with suspicious activity. It's not a surprise if your number of followers started to drastically reduce

It could be many things:
1. spammers got their account deleted
2. cleaning of unused profiles by twitter
3. many more

You could always ask twitter support what happened to that numbers of followers

Twitter is checking the account violates the terms. The amount of tracking you have is reduced because the accounts that have tracked you are blocked.

Your accounts must be bounties account, yes?
This is normal, because your Twitter accounts are created for the purpose of bounties, the tweets sent are all related to crypto, If someone is not interested in crypto, who will put your accounts are considered AD and spam and will remove you from the followers.
After all, people interested in crypro are a minority.

if twitter wouldn't do that, they would be garbage website waiting to be left by its real users

That's what would the twitter founder would do to delete/remove fake accounts, lost accounts and other reasons that violate their rules and regulations. I think some twitter users with real follower but their account violates a rule and will be suspended so his/her follower would decrease. Follow me and I'll follow you and fake followers.

haha. happened on my account too. about 200 which is around 8% of follower counts.
I think twitter is cracking down on fake accounts, or accounts that violates twitter rules, i.e. tweet a lot.
So don't worry. It will go up again

I think twitter banning some accounts and then maybe some are just bots and also you should check your apps sections and maybe disable some apps to be on a safer side

200 is quite a lot, but it could be their account was just getting restricted & suspended, and they maybe unfollowing you just because they're not a crypto lovers or not interested in crypto things. So much people getting suspended nowadays, because joining twitter bounty.

Twitter seems to have lost its usefulness, and they seem to be shovig it under the bus at the moment. Personally, I'll be glad when it's gone.

Don't be surprised that this is happening, even IG is doing this on clearing out fake accounts in their social media website. I wouldn't even mind that my followers would be reduced one day, that is when I know that the people who are following me are real people. On a business perspective, this might be proven useful as people doing twitter bounty campaigns will only have participants who are using their real accounts, they won't also double pay people who have multiple accounts on both twitter and in the forum.

With so many bot accounts and fake accounts,trying to boost followers simply for earning purposes,it seems such users are been ousted from twitter,and many of your followers sadly fall under that demeaning category

I haven’t lost any followers. Probably because only real accounts follow me, that I’m aware of.
