Oh, now this makes complete sense. With an algorithmic timeline that puts random people in your feed, you may not even realize that you are following the JoeSchmoe account.
I think this also explains the obvious bot followers I've been getting tons of lately on Twitter and Instagram, despite not posting there. E.g. "40567Claire" (usually with a cute Asian woman pfp) who has 756 followers, but only 8 posts and follows only 17 people (i.e. the ones who haven't been unfollowed yet).
Sometimes they also send a personal message like "hi, can we be friends?" I've wanted to see what their grift was so I've tried writing back with "hello, let's be friends. What do you like to do for fun?" expecting to be told about how much fun they're having investing in NFT's or Dogecoin. They never responded, probably because the point was just to use a personal message to increase the likelihood that I would follow them back.
Next time I'll write to @ 04557Claire and ask how much to buy the account. 😂
