I don& #39;t get it. Can someone explain?
*JUST* joined twitter (with fake pic, so obv. not a real old lady!) ONE tweet and in just 8 hours: 4.4k likes & 1238 followers. How precisely does that happen? Who saw that - and HOW - to send it viral if it was the VERY FIRST TWEET?
I& #39;ve been on twitter for 11 YEARS, yet despite posting plenty of tweets worthy of RTs (amongst 15 THOUSAND+) I have barely over 500 followers (never courted more, btw) & not had more than 1 tweet get 3-figure https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart">s & I think fewer than 10 got double-figure https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart">s !
To be clear, I& #39;m not jealous, I genuinely just wish to UNDERSTAND, because the disparity is stark & inexplicable, and this is not even close to the first such account going INSTANTLY BIG. This is "her":

I& #39;m thinking for sure my VERY established, VERY active account is being suppressed, while BRAND NEW ones get some kind of huge leg up. Am I right, @Twitter ? @Jack ?? Why is this happening?
This is the "amazing" tweet worth thousands of likes - amusing, sure, but THOUSANDS OF LIKES IN JUST 8-9 HOURS? Really??
"At 94 years old, I never imagined that i& #39;d ever be new to anything again, but i& #39;m new to Twitter! This is my first Tweetle. This will show my grandson that I can get down with the young ones. The only problem I have, is getting back up again!"
Now - just 20 hours from posting:

Over 20 THOUSAND FOLLOWERS and over 167,000 LIKES, 17,400 retweets and 5400 comments!!!

Oh, seriously, fart off! What the farting farts??
Now over 173,000 likes, 6 thousand extra likes in minutes. Seriously, WTF? It& #39;s great that "she" is beating all / most tweets by a turd like trumple, but this is absurd!

It& #39;s also starting to look like such a mediocre tweet now, when balanced against the insane response!

Well, well... It turns out this "organically" viral account is indeed just another dirty bit of charlatanism and manipulation. Urgh. Quelle surprise. https://mobile.twitter.com/ade__87/status/1248957695891312645">https://mobile.twitter.com/ade__87/s...
