Follower count is the holy grail for social media influencers and most people on Twitter. However, on Thursday night, netizens on users noticed a drop on their followers tab. Soon, there was an outrage online with ‘Followers par hamla’ trending in India, as well as a hilarious meme-fest online.

While some accounts complained about losing about 100-200 followers, others claimed they lost a whopping 500K to 1 million! In most cases, while Twitter’s official handle, support account and security got the heat, this time around desi users made the matter personal. Instead of complaining to official Twitter handles about the issue, desi folks joined their forces together to collectively raise the matter to newly appointed CEO Parag Agrawal who is a person of Indian origin.
