I doubt that. For one, they wouldn't be reusing the crypto messages from the past which have been seen by everyone on twitter a thousand times. I ignore based on tweet rather than looking at who tweeted it most of the time. So they at least would write new messages if they were after money.

There are so many ways to make money that even a dumb person could find something better than posting crypto ads without compromising on opsec.

Yeah, but Twitter will surely:

a) fix the bug if itβ€˜s in their APIs

b) roll out a framework to be able to respond quickly in the future. Like a regex on their edge servers.

That scam existed before. Youtube had this issue already.
