Keyana Jones noticed that Julie DiCaro lost thousands of followers in the past week or so....wonder if this is related, somehow?


3K follower jumps over a two-day span are pretty hard to come by for part time nighttime radio hosts with middling Patreon accounts, I would assume.

Also lost a thousand or so over the last 30 days.

I don't see the big deal besides it being worthy of laughing at a person for it.

Like half of all social media accounts are bots, fake accounts or inactives. If you want to pay some company to follow you then go ahead and waste your money.

i realize FB commenters are basically the lowest wrung of society, but I love when people will be arguing with someone that's clearly a fake profile/bot

That's why JORR ignores DannyB.

Part of contracts with papers are social media things. More than likely, his contract is tied to his followers/growth of his account. By paying for them, he is basically skirting the requirements of his contract.

I don't have twitter but I'd assume they think - more folloers equals more credibility.


I can see advertisers being upset if they are paying a certain amount based on how many followers someone has thinking their commercials will reach x number of people when they are really reaching much less than that.

I guess Roeper got busted when he was re-tweeted by Roger Ebert.

Right. It's not a "scandal" or anything.

It's just dumb.

I think it is a scandal though when you're supposed to be a journalist. And Roeper was about to start writing a column again. It may not be such a big deal for a movie critic who wants to raise his profile or a business or even for a political campaign that is trying to reach as many eyeballs as possible. But for someone who considers himself a journalist, it calls his credibility into question.

The fact that Twitter followers or YouTube subscribers is important to anyone in any professional manner is why They hate us.

Yeah, the rules on this stuff are being written as we go. Especially with regard to media, individuals are positioning themselves as a brand unto themselves rather than, in Roeper's case for example, an employee of the Chicago Sun-Times. I believe that li'l danny advised his protegee Sir Larry to drop the "670" from his Twitter handle for that exact reason.

we were about to pay for a company to increase our clicks and follows on fb for our company. they said it was all legitimate. we found a local company that used them and he showed up and showed us how like all the follows and clicks were from indonesia and other countries. basically its a "hey i have alot of followers thus must be legit" type of a thing.

It may call his popularity into question but credibility in journalism shouldn't be how many twitter followers you have.

It's not that you gain credibility by having Twitter followers. It's that you lose it by faking phony ones.

I believe the other issue is that the company that Roeper apparently used created bot accounts in a "catfishy" way in which they use the name and likeness of someone without permission, but change the name ever-so-slightly (like Beardown and Beerdown).

Could be another layer in fraud.
