Someone who uses the retweet and follow back accounts to get a lot of followers instead of having real or funny tweets.

"___ is in jail check Twitter" is a commonly spammed message mainly on platforms like Twitch. It states that a popular member of a community is in jail and that the news was first broke on Twitter. It is a parody both of how online community figureheads lives are broadcast to the world on social media platforms and how a majority of people today get all their news from places like Twitter instead of reputable sources.
