What is "Net Followers"?
Net Followers is a metric that measures the growth of a Twitter account's follower count over a specific period. It calculates the difference between the number of followers gained and the number of followers lost within that period. A positive net follower count means that the account gained more followers than it lost, indicating growth in its audience. In contrast, a negative net follower count means that the account lost followers, suggesting a decline in its audience. Net Followers can help Twitter users track the effectiveness of their content, engagement strategies, and overall performance on the platform.
Example: A business can use the Net Followers metric to measure the effectiveness of their social media strategy in growing their audience and engaging with existing followers. #TwitterExpert

  • Missing values in Databox for the X (Twitter) metric ‘Net Followers’ when the metric is first used in Databox

    This is expected behavior. Databox calculates the values for the metric ‘Net Followers’ as the difference between values from the metric ‘Total Followers’ from two consecutive days when looking at the Line Chart or as a difference in values from ‘Total Followers’ between the first and last day in the selected Date Range interval. If the data for the first day of the selected interval is missing (the value for ‘Net Followers’ cannot be calculated for Date Ranges that begin before the ‘Net Followers’ metric was first used in Databox – as explained here), the Big Number (the value above the chart) cannot be calculated in Databox.
    If a narrower Date Range interval is selected, where the first and last day of the set interval have data available, the Big Number will be properly calculated and displayed on the Line Chart.
    Information on how Databox calculates the values for the ‘Net Followers’ metric and why the Big Number might be missing above a graph is available here.

  • Inaccurate data in Databox for X (Twitter) metrics ‘Net Followers’ and ‘Followers to Following Ratio’

    The values for the X (Twitter) metrics ‘Net Followers’ and ‘Followers to Following Ratio’ are calculated on Databox’s end and are not retrieved directly from the API. The values cannot be validated for these metrics against values seen in the X (Twitter) User Interface.
