OK, lots of people asking what is a "follower churner."

A follower churner is an account who follows a bunch of people, gets them to follow them back, and then unfollows them.  

It's a way to set a favorable follower ratio and get engagement $$$.  

If you do it and get caught, your account will get permanently suspended.

This account I speak of was pretending to be a sweet old lady with pictures of puppies and kittens who was "reporting" accounts for prohibited activities as a hobby to make X a better place, and it turns out she is an actual Nazi.

She actually had 20k+ followers helping her in finding accounts that needed to be "reported."

Now it turns out she was trying to run a virtual Kristallnacht.

So creepy.
