    I kinda thought something similar, but in a way I think there’s some value in observing homophobia in a community.

      Yes, but it’s just not statistically significant. Unless we see longer-term trends of her follow count, this could easily be a random fluctuation, bot crackdown, etc.

        It would be neat if there were context, like if other artists had any similar drops. That popular accounts get a ton of bots isn’t that interesting.
