Just tweet metamask lol - its the magic word. Edit: WARNING this will immediately fill your feed with spam. Don't click anything that you get.

they are probably not making any $ with this or else you would see the same sophistication that goes into this spam as you see with YouTube crypto spam. These guys are not on their A game here.

  Can you tell us more about this YouTube crypto spam? How does it work? What makes it so effective?

  metamask is a crypto thing, huge amounts of twitter spam are related to crypto nonsense.

  Metamask is a crypto wallet manager, and often people mention it in Tweets because they're having some kind of problem using it, so spambots reply with links to fake "Metamask support" pages that helpfully guide you through the process of handing your private keys over to someone who will immediately steal all your bitcoins and monkey JPEGs. That particular type of spam has been around for a while now so people must still be falling for it.

    Thanks for the explanation. As I've stayed far away from cryptocurrencies, I thought it was Covid related at first.

Hilarious. This is actually true. https://twitter.com/nickstinemates/status/1487161750944313346 https://twitter.com/nickstinemates/status/148716175094431334...

  Interestingly the spam is usually under the "possibly offensive replies" fold, so Twitter is detecting that somethings up but falls short of blocking the spam altogether.

"Metamask" is pretty effective, but it only gets better if you combine it with a bunch of other triggers. I've seen some people deliberately craft tweets to get all of the bots to show up at once, e.g. > metamask trust wallet support seed phrase recovery bitcoin shib ethereum network nft help moon coinbase defi dapp shib dogecoin giveaway retweet elon musk free nfts crypto punks opensea free raffle dao hacked banned from Instagram snapchat facebook i need an artist logo designer
