Yeah. I'm not famous at all, but I could imagine it would be troublesome trying to migrate a popular account with thousands of followers to another service.

Even if you were successful, you'd probably only retain a quarter of your followers because most people can't be ballsed to dl/sign up for another app.

Half your followers on Twitter are probably bots or inactive anyhow, so take that as you will.
