Does this usually work with any Twitter account? Even a new one with no followers? Or do you need to have followers or fame or something for the tweet to carry any weight in practice?
- manyxcxi 9y agoI’ve only got a couple hundred followers and rarely tweet and it’s been massively effective a couple of times for me. It helps to work in a popular or trending hashtag for good measure.
- matwood 9y agoAny account. I’ve had good experiences reaching out on Twitter to Comcast, TMO, and airlines. I complained about having a problem, but also was not rude.
- cjsuk 9y agoI've found that the inverse is true. If you are polite, Royal Mail will ignore you. If you call them thieving bastards, you'll have your refund sorted by the end of the day.
- DonHopkins 9y agoThere should be a service where you can rent the use of a Russian troll twitter account to make customer service request tweets, taking advantage of its millions of crazy alt-right wing nut job follower parrots who will mindlessly retweet your message and threaten to boycott the company and make death threats and show up with automatic weapons at the offices of the company that didn't give you good customer service. Just mention the customer service rep's name was "Hillary".
- cat199 9y agoWow, that's a whole new way to play the 6-degrees-of-vladimir-putin game.. kudos to you, kremlin troll account
- emodendroket 9y agoWell, if you take out the Russia angle, you can definitely buy followers on Twitter.
