They are mostly astroturfers, pinging every so often. Click report and move on. Alfie -- Alfie John alfiej@fastmail.fm

i am currently collecting an image corpus... so i can automate the report. yeah, that's it. ;)
Tumblr is a much better place to build image corpuses. And then you get to pick from whom you get images rather than letting the spambots pick for you. Of the accounts you listed, only https://twitter.com/PazhetnykhMiss https://twitter.com/helensmithusacc https://twitter.com/PeytonKanee97 are still active.

From discussion elsewhere, there was agreement that if you routinely block spammers and junk favoriters the activity rapidly falls off.
With the official twitter site and most clients, if you report abuse you also block the reported party. If the bot operator periodically checks whether it's blocked after favoriting or @mentioning, they would build up a list of who's best left alone. Their goals would include going unnoticed by Twitter governance. Anyone they can detect as blocking their accounts can be assumed to also be reporting the accounts.
