Oh look, a website where you can buy Twitter accounts. (Spoiler: you probably don't want to.) #WednesdayWisdom

If you don't have much cash to spend, @COVID_2019N (permanent ID 1246497827728977920) is a bargain at only $25 - that is, if what you're after is a supposed COVID19 account that retweets porn videos. Also animal and scenery pics.
If you've got a little more cash to throw around, you could pick up @SyncMindAndTime (permanent ID 1346590724) for $200. Don't get too excited about the 33K followers, though - half of them are probably fake, between patterns in creation dates and utter lack of tweets.
For $700, you could be the proud new owner of @italoomult, with an impressive 193K followers. Only 14346 of those followers (7.4%) have been active in the last year, however, and @italoomult's tweets get almost no engagement, so this purchase is unlikely to be worth the price.
It's unclear why someone who built a billion dollar business starting with nothing would be trying to sell a 2-month old Twitter account with a stolen photo for $70, but if this makes sense to you then @billionalre_key (permanent ID 1261250017689505794) might just be your thing.
Like the other accounts we've reviewed in this thread, @billionalre_key's followers leave something to be desired. 7008 of 24004 (29.2%) have never tweeted, and only 5737 (29.3%) have tweeted more than 100 times. Many of its early followers are Japanese bots (152, to be precise).
Unlike many of the for-sale accounts we've looked at, @MibRot (ID 1013429836629471232) really does have 217K active-ish followers. If you blow $700 on it, though, you should know that its followers are mostly Thai porn accounts, with 63% of their video tweets marked as sensitive.
It's a new day, and @learnthng could be yours for only $500. Although its 103K followers lack the usual 2009 spike in account creations, they don't look obviously fake, and who wouldn't want to follow an account that posts memes and pretty photos, even if it doesn't follow back?
There's a catch. @learnthng has repeatedly changed its name, and unfollowed all but 6 of the 111K accounts it was following back in March 2020. It likely built its following via followback schemes and then unfollowed everyone and renamed itself in preparation for sale.
(permanent ID of account presently known as @learnthng is 937978565617795072)
