The spooky goings on at Pink News: why is their Twitter feed a graveyard?

I have a TERRRIFYING theory

Thanks to Moley for the spookiness!

All right, this is very spooky. Pink News has 271 thousand followers on Twitter—a quarter of a million souls—yet their engagement is so low it almost counts as anti-engagement.

A few examples taken at random. Numbers are true as of time of writing.

Number 1  - no one interested in Pink News take on fetishist performer getting his cock out 

This is a Saturday night. Engagement should be somewhat healthy on a Saturday night, surely?

…Guh…Guh…GHOSTS!

No, but seriously, why is engagement so low? Does anyone have any thoughts?
