https://www.buzzfeed.com/juliareinstein/twitter-dory-girlposts-suspended-accounts-tweetdecking?utm_term=.ssRx8d4QJX#.xt76b8wXyz
Many of these accounts were hugely popular, with hundreds of
thousands or even millions of followers. In addition to
stealing people's tweets without credit, some of these
accounts are known as "tweetdeckers" due to their practice of
teaming up in exclusive Tweetdeck groups and mass-retweeting
one another's -- and paying customers' -- tweets into forced
virality.
