This post perturbs me a bit - aside from the hardcore skepticism - I don't see how anyone who doesn't work for Twitter would be able to comment on the implementation of Twitter's follower lists.
It's strange because to me you are suggesting that I shouldn't believe an engineer at Twitter that it was a bug, because the bug should be impossible based on an imaginary implementation from someone who doesn't work at Twitter in order to prove that Twitter is 100% malicious.
I'm beginning to wonder is most posts like this play at our biases (we want to believe that Twitter is making some underhanded deals with "evil" advertisers), rather than taking a more neutral view.
