Follow order by creation date scatter plots can reveal interesting things about the history of popular Twitter accounts. Case in point: almost all of @maureen_bannon's first few thousand followers are accounts that primarily tweet in Chinese.

These early Chinese-language followers all followed @maureen_bannon over a relatively short span of time: specifically, the first two weeks of October 2020, roughly a month prior to the 2020 US Presidential election.
Although the Chinese-language accounts do not show obvious signs of being automated or fake, they differ from @maureen_bannon's English-language followers in one key way: they frequently link Guo Wengui/Steve Bannon propaganda sites GNews and GTV.
The pattern of early follows from lots of Chinese-langauge accounts that promote GNews/GTV is also present in the early followers of @GettrOffical, btw:
