Same here. I suppose I could go find spam if I start clicking on every Tweet from a high-profile person and scroll to the bottom of the comments, but the spam isn't jumping out at me on a regular basis.
I suspect some people have a very low tolerance for any spam appearing anywhere on a platform, and will get easily triggered whenever it crosses their experience in any way. If you're consuming 100s or 1000s of Tweets and responses in a sitting and scrolling to the bottom of threads, eventually you're going to see something spam-like.
- wartijn_ 5y agoIt's not just a few spam like tweets at the bottom of threads though. If you look at tweets by Elon Musk for example there will be loads, as replies at the top of the threads. Pretty weird how multiple people refuse to believe something can be a problem even though they can't see it.
- paulpauper 5y agoIt depends how twitter is organizing the replies or the device you use. Sometimes twitter arranges comments by newest first but other times it sorts them seemingly randomly. It used to be that verified accounts would always rank high, but then 2019-2020 twitter changed it so that they don't automatically get a ranking boost.
- nradov 5y agoWhy would you ever look at the replies?
- wartijn_ 5y agoThere can be many reason. One of them is that you click on a direct link to a tweet, because the replies will often be on the same screen as the main tweet.
