We just updated the results and @udiWertheimer is the fastest growing among the top 300. Again. His influence has been growing fast for a couple of weeks now.
We couldn’t figure out why. So we asked him. This lead us down a rabbit hole. (thread👇)

Udi thinks that this might have started with this old post:
medium.com/unchained-repo…
He had described backdoors that were later used in @Bancor’s hack. This gave this piece a second life and Udi’s numbers took off.
What’s puzzling is that this kept on for such a long time.

The same thing happened before with @ricburton.
Not only he gained lots of followers right after speaking up against $EOS, but his numbers kept rising. He’s been among the fastest growing in top 300 for weeks now.

The opposite happened with @katie_haun
She skyrocketed in ranking after the news the she became @A16Z’s new GP for for crypto. She was the fastest across ALL accounts.
And then it stopped. She lost a couple of spots the following week. It was a huge, but short lived spike.

Our hypothesis:
Gains in influence will have different half-life times depending on whether they come from on or off Twitter activity.
Does this sound credible to you? What events should we look into to investigate this and support/disprove?
