Dave Delaney : Dave Made That: 5 fun steps to spam your Twitter friends

  • Christian · 1 year ago
    I have had zero twitter spam during the entire time I've used Twitter. I'm not sure why, but I think it's because I don't automatically reciprocate follows. The only time I have to endure twitter spam is when the twitter conversation turns to said twitter spam. Is the solution as simple as not following spammers?

    It certainly helps. Some good indications are:
    - does the follower have hundreds (or more) of people they're following, but
    few followers?
    - does the follower have an avatar/image?
    - does the follower have only a few, dated tweets on their profile?

    Hope these help. Thanks for your comment Christian.

    Dave - just curious - on step 2 are they emailing you or DM'ing you? If it's email, how are they getting your email address?

    It was an email. I saw a service which does this recently. I didn't include
    the name, because I don't want to actually tip off any would-be spammers.

    Yeesh. I just get follows from sketchy people who follow 1,000 and are only followed by 5. They don't send me spam links, too. Yuck.

    Ability will never catch up with the demand for it.
