I get ~one of those NFT spam mentions daily. I don't get why Twitter doesn't outright block accounts that tweet stuff like "giveaway" and "tag.*friends" and are followed by replies that start tagging people, especially people they don't even follow. That's blatant spam. I don't get much other spam though. Edit: oh yeah, on a Japanese account I have I get the odd mass DM offering scam sex/easy money/whatever. I've also noticed a trickle of obvious spam account followers there (it's always "girls" with sexy profile pics and a profile blurb that invariably mentions adding her on LINE, and ~zero followers except other bots and just a couple tweets). Spam is very different depending on the market.

Thinking about it now, I do go out of my way to avoid mentioning crypto-adjacent keywords, which helps avoid this type of spam. Perhaps it would be much worse if I didn't.

  The keywords seem to trigger scam bots replying to you, but the NFT giveaway stuff just seems to be completely random, based on follow counts, or something like that. It just keeps happening and I've only mentioned NFTs once or twice (to complain about them).
