| 2022-10-10 |  | | BotSight is useful it just needs to be upated more often. | |
| 2022-07-10 | | | this is great for twitter! didn't realize how many bots i had following me & vice versa. love it! | |
| 2022-06-18 |  | | It used to be useful but about a year ago whatever metric they were using to classify bots changed. Liking posts from "the wrong people" will drop your score almost as fast as removing followers will. (Yes, if you remove a bunch of followers at once, even if they're the bitcoin spambots we all know and love, your score takes a hit.) | |
| 2021-07-24 |  | | Definitely has false positives and false negatives. Someone that follows me is listed as a "bot" because they have a low follower account. Just because someone isn't popular or interact with a lot of people doesn't mean they are a bot. Then is an account I came across that makes random posts at people of which doesn't make sense to the context of what people are talking about. I'm pretty certain it's a since it's similar to a bot I follow but it's labeled as most likely a real person because it "liked a lot of tweets". Bots are able to like tweets how is this a signifier that it's not a bot? There is also a bot I follow that has a high rating but acts like the previous bot I mentioned but because it follows a lot of people and likes a lot of tweets it's labeled as 93%. (Higher than what I get.) This extension obviously doesn't know how to tell the difference between humans and bots. | |
| 2021-02-25 |  | | Have very mixed feelings about this product though I've been using the Chrome extension since last year. Its ratings make no sense. I'm a person, and I recently unfollowed about 1,000 accounts so I could start following other accounts. For doing that, my score fell from 98% to 88%. It ranks some accounts that are definitely people very low. It's not as helpful or as smart as I had hoped. | |
| 2020-09-18 |  | | A much needed extension! Great Stuff! Works great as twitter is infested with bots, and helps identify the real ones from fake. Good Job | |
