If you take their percentage of 'active' fake/spam accounts as 20% and then apply a poster to lurker ratio of 25% you end up with roughly the twitter spam percentage where active does not just mean regularly posting. I would guess that this analysis is correctly identifying most spam accounts but that the majority of users don't post every 9 weeks but are still regularly checking their feed.
