Re: Ball Park setting for user filter ?
Do you have a reason for those values?
By all means test and work out what works well for you.
But do not just set numbers randomly because you can. Filtering mean each result must have details pulled and checked. If a results page contains a 100 results, that is 1 request for 100 results, with a filter you need another 100 requests to get details and check.
From 1 request to 100!
Also, if your filter is ignoring lots of results, lets say 50%, you now need to make double the requests to get the same results.
If you have a reason - good. If you don't, you are just making orders of magnitude more requests for no reason.
To ignore bots, simply ignoring accounts with <100 followers will do it. Sure you'll miss some newer accounts, but there is no one perfect way to do it

The filter is amazing tbh really helps targeting active user to be followed by.
