Twitter followers

Hi I'm new to comping and was wondering if the number of twitter followers effects your chances of winning. I don't have many followers but I follow many other, mostly for competitions. I was wondering if a profile with more followers is more likely to selected as the winner?

    I've got 169 followers and have had 42 twitter wins so far in 2018, i know people with a lot more followers on there who have had less wins, x
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

  • I have 16 followers :( I reply to comps too. I thought I may be doing something wrong as I haven't won anything. But I'm hopeful because I'm still new to comping :)

    I've got around 2000 followers. I've won once on twitter this year. I don't reply to competitions, just retweet and like mostly. I think I should start chatting more. But if I tweet too much, I get shadowbanned, so don't know what to do for the best.
