Twitter is deleting accounts that haven't been active in years, says platform owner Elon Musk..

According to him, in this regard, the number of subscribers of other users may decrease..

"

We're purging accounts that hade had no activity at all for several years, so you will probably see follower count drop.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 8, 2023.

At the same time, he did not voice the criteria by which accounts will be deleted..

Twitter suggests that users must log into their account at least once every 30 days to avoid deletion.

Some commentators, however, expressed regret at not being able to read the publications of deceased relatives or famous people..

In addition, the decrease in the number of subscribers due to the “cleansing” of inactive accounts has deprived some users of the opportunity to monetize content, because this requires at least 500 subscribers..

Last month, Twitter began removing verified account blue checkmarks from the profiles of thousands of people, including celebrities, journalists and prominent politicians.. Musk made checking accounts part of his Twitter Blue subscription.
