Yeah, this isn't 'export', this is new spam.
There is also no evidence presented that sending mass spam DMs to people with links is going to have a more positive impact on your followers coming to your new platform. It seems a lot more likely that word-of-mouth would spread where you are if you are really an influencer, and what is wrong with a few public tweets?
This is a half-baked idea that is arrogant and rude, IMO. At least present some analysis that publicly tweeting is worse than mass DMs with links.
Let me tell you this, if I get a generic DM with a link I am NOT ever going to click that. Haven't Twitter people become used to getting spam links mass DMd to them? I think nobody would click.
- np_tedious 6y agoMight be dumb, but assuming they will genuinely pay is it really arrogant or rude? People will work on it if and only if the bounty is worth it to them.
- cryptoz 6y agoI think it's arrogant to assume that your followers on Twitter love you so much that they will follow you anywhere, sign up on a new platform, click on sketchy mass DM links to a 100% rate. The whole tone of the post is arrogant IMO. It's not 'export' unless every single one of your followers does exactly what your DM says. It's rude to mass DM any audience that isn't expecting it. I think the title is wrong, the concept is rude, and the post language itself is arrogant.
- jacobwilliamroy 6y agoThere are two kinds of people on the web: the ones who click and the ones who don't click. I don't understand why, but for some reason, most people will click on absolutely anything. Even if they know it's malicious, they will still click, just because they want to "investigate". It's terrifying.
