The accounts I block on any platform are mostly spammers working within the limitations of the platform by masquerading as normal accounts. Like a couple posts of very generic things, an attractive woman's profile pic, all their follows are completely random across the world, you know it when you see it. Those friends you have who follow them back... then they try to follow all their follows, they work like a virus. "Mutual followers" is gold to them.
