Unlike gmail, there's no way to spam twitter from "outside of" twitter. As I understand it, twitter API accounts only need a phone#— basically disposable. Would twitter's clean-up teams have less work if they could more easily stop spam accounts from being created to begin with?
Gmail hasn't been invite only since '07. I don't think any major social media site is invite only. Twitter has the highest friction signup of any I've tried (I tried a bunch to compare), I was surprised by how much friction Twitter's willing to add compared to competitors.

But that's not even close to the friction of having an invite-only site. It's not really clear if "smaller" services like Snap, Twitter, or Pinterest could really survive (without layoffs, etc.) if they added as much friction as an invite-only process creates.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
