Twitter Bots: classification of bots in CT

[Bo Suter]

According to my experience, a bot in CT is a Twitter profile created for a specific purpose: to gain followers for other projects and to simulate social activity.

In terms of project utility, bots are used to increase the number of profile subscribers, likes, reposts, and comments. They are not interested in your offering.

Classification of bots in CT:

• Classic bots — low-cost bots with no avatars or descriptions, 10–100 subscriptions, and 0–10 followers. There are no tweets or retweets on the page. They are only interested in swindling projects. It costs approximately $3 per 1000 followers.
• Bots for performing tasks for points — Follow-to-Follow bots, for earning on F4F platforms, for example AddMeFast. There are avatars and descriptions. 1000–4000 subscriptions, 100subscribers. On the page a lot of retweets and tweets. Cost about $6 per 1000 subscribers.
• Multi-accounts for airdrop — 1000–4000 subscriptions, 200–500 subscribers. They make reposts of giveaways of different crypto and NFT projects. We nicknamed them — Hindu accounts. Cost about $6 per 1000 subscribers.
• Crypto and NFT bots are regular bots with a cryptocurrency theme in their design and profile descriptions. They appear to be regular users, and there is activity in the feed. For 1000 subscribers, the cost is around $100.

1. Informational bots: These bots are designed to provide useful information to Twitter users, such as news updates or weather forecasts.
2. Spam bots: These bots are designed to spam Twitter with irrelevant or promotional content, often in an attempt to gain followers or drive traffic to a website.
