What's up with all these accounts created in May 2012 with "legit check" as their pinned tweet? #SeemsLegit

Answer: they're part of a botnet that retweets and replies to giveaway tweets. This network consists of 271 accounts created on May 1st, 2012 that have no tweets prior to December 2020. (Not all have the "legit check" pinned tweet, but they have other things in common...)
At present, the 271 accounts in this network all (allegedly) tweet via the Twitter Web App. They've gone through a variety of custom apps, however, many of which seem to be named to give the incorrect impression that they are official Twitter products ("Tɯitter for Samsung" etc).

Oh hey, it's a post on blackhatworld(dot)com offering 50 free Twitter followers to whomever replies. Let's see what they look like. #SeemsLegit #ThursdayThoughts

We downloaded the followers of six of the accounts that replied to the blackhatworld(dot)com post offering free followers, and indeed each has a streak of batch-created followers from summer 2020, most of which have never liked a tweet.
These batch-created followers are part of a fake engagement botnet consisting of 96 accounts, all created between June and August 2020. They supposedly tweet via the Twitter website, but due to frequent 24/7 activity (among other things), we believe them to be automated.

Oh hey, it's a ten-week old website called twitterfollowersbuy(dot)com selling fake Twitter followers. #WednesdayWisdom #SeemsLegit

cc: @ZellaQuixote
We contacted the "24/7 email address" on twitterfollowersbuy(dot)com's "About Us" page, and quickly received a response providing @alkalineph20 as an example of an account followed by the followers offered by the site. Almost all of its followers were created July 2020 or later.
To find more accounts that are likely part of this fake follower network, we downloaded followers of other accounts followed by @alkalineph20's followers, and checked for periods where most of the accounts' followers were created July 2020 or later (orange circled areas).

I think I've cracked the #heartshapedbox music video mystery and WHY #courtneylove killed #kurtcobain over #pedogate #pizzagate and #pedowood
Based on the imagery used in the video and lyrics from the song
Here we have the upside down cross a symbol used by those involved in #pedowood and the cult for satanic rituals
Note the band are in the dark except for Kurt as the light shines on his face
The man in the bed is on a fetus drip #adrenachrome
They believe that they have made a mockery of religion and god breaking all known taboos, I believe he represents #pedowood in one shape or form, note the crows gathering around his decaying decrepit body

Allah created the heavens and the earth and all the humans, plants, and animals on it...

...but you have to pray to him in Arabic because he only understands one language

#SeemsLegit
Allah created humans perfectly. He makes no mistakes....

...oops! except for that extra bit of skin on there! Slice it off for me, will ya?
Allah is everywhere and sees everything...

...but if you’re not praying toward Mecca, he can’t hear you

Pouya Air IL76 🤯 #SeemsLegit

PS... Someone stole your engine! 😁
...not to worry. Found the missing engine!

It ain't an IL76 though.

Or Pouya Air! 😳
Oh & @flightradar24 I think this may be a bug.

I was looking at this particular plane earlier & left the app... An hour or so later, I then clicked on someone else's link for the IL76 & this MD83 pic remained there even though the IL76 details were showing. 🐛
