How do you verify that people are actually posting historic data instead of random garbage, without either (1) you yourself already having access to that historic data, or (2) looking up each tweet through a Twitter API to verify that it is actually real?
If you can't verify that the tweets are real, what is the incentive for anyone to post real tweets, instead of just streaming random garbage into your system in exchange for coins?
- neodymiumphish 5y agoWhy wouldn't an extension be able to parse a link to each tweet? This seems like a trivial concern.
- dmitriid 5y agoParse the link and do what with it? Request Twitter API to see if that was a valid tweet? You'll get your keys banned within a few seconds for too many requests.
