    Friends at Twitter: you don't care about the crypto people. I don't care about the crypto people. But your product is being used to run impersonation scams, at scale, automatically, in response to influencer tweets. That feels like an existential risk.pic.twitter.com/xtmpOaHAdD

        If it is making money, they probably aren't behind it.

        The "in response to" part is an important part. It makes the envisioned experience of posting a tweet emotionally distasteful.

        When history books are written about the rise and fall of Twitter, their complete and total inability to block imposter scam bots will be what ultimately is recorded as taking them into MySpace and Geocities like irrelevance. Don’t shadowban me for speaking truth to idiocy.

        Interesting detail from Twitter's latest 10-K: They adjust their reported metrics by subtracting off known fake accounts. In otter words, they know there are fake accounts which they have chosen not to delete.

        Maybe they are estimating the counts from a sample?

        Among other things, it risks making Twitter unusable.

        Your feed is full of this too. @Twitter is to blame. They could catch this easily, but it's good money for them (ads) so no. They are effectively profiteering from these scams.

        This would be so easy to stop. How about auto-blocking tweets by users with the same profile pic as the poster? Or fuzzy username matching. The fact that @twitter hasn’t stopped it yet speaks volumes about their lack of caring for the safety of their customers.

        I gave up on reporting them once they started appearing in locust-swarms, many per tweet.
