They’re likely downvoting my somewhat dubious claim of being able to singlehandedly make a big dent in crypto spam tweets.

I appreciate your gesture, but I don’t mind the downvotes. Bold claims warrant skepticism. And talking about votes makes the conversation less interesting for the audience.

But you’re right to point out that the problem isn’t nearly as intractable as it seems. There are many ways to deter crypto spammers.

Think of it this way: suppose Twitter’s stock price was inversely proportional to the amount of crypto spam (without accidentally removing genuine tweets). Does anyone believe the stock price would go down?

It’s why I suspect Twitter simply hasn’t made it a priority.
