This plan ignores the part where it is going to get DMCA'd like crazy by people who do not want their tweets to have anything to do with the world's most deliberately-inefficient database, aka The Blockchain, never mind people who do not want someone stealing their work for profit.
By cloning people's accounts without their permission and storing data in these "shadow accounts" (to borrow a phrase from Facebook's fuckups) it's probably going to run afoul of the GDPR, too. Data on the blockchain is immutable and undeletable, have fun complying with the GDPR's right to data erasure, for instance. Really any "let's make $service but ON THE BLOCKCHAIN" proposal runs up against that one, hard.
This plan also ignores the part where people who do not want to be part of your pyramid scheme would start sharing blocklists of people known to be running the browser extension. How long do you think it would take to make a bot that watches for people who have linked their Twitter accounts to Vampire Twitter accounts, and auto-block them for anyone who wants to subscribe to it? Autoblock extensions sprung up very quickly after the hexagonal NFT icons popped up on Twitter.
