Twitter/X Followers benchmarks

What the numbers mean

Platform retention benchmarks dropped 14 percentage points after Twitter's verification overhaul. Services that inherited large unverified-account pools lost them to bulk suspensions. Prefer services that describe their account sourcing explicitly.
