Spamming "$$$ $TSLA to the moon! Get latest tips on my free Discord bit.ly/ocozxc #TWTR #GOOG #AMC #GME $$$" thousands of times for days before suspension is hardly the hardest problem on the Internet

Heck, you could even just limit the number of hashtags in a single tweet (say, 2) and fix 95% of Twitter's spam problem without harming legitimate users in any way



Uh, wouldn't spammers just...stop using lots of hashtags? Part of what makes the problem difficult is that spammers are agents who respond to the techniques you use to stop them.


Supposing it really was that simple, 5% would still comprise a large number of tweets.
