It’s all about age of the account, number of followers, and rate and origin of the automated tweets. Perhaps a way to think about it is to ask, if there was a new account created just to have a bot spam out links at a high rate, how would it look different than this account?
- lapcat 4y ago> rate and origin of the automated tweets There were no automated tweets. https://twitter.com/benthompson/status/1583163548708241410 https://twitter.com/benthompson/status/1583163548708241410 "Account was not scripted. Everything was posted by a human" > if there was a new account created just to have a bot spam out links at a high rate, how would it look different than this account? I think we differ on the definition of "spam". Tweeting links on your own profile is not spam. Tweeting links in replies to other users can be spam. Ben's account was not replying at all, just tweeting in its own profile. A Twitter user would generally only see those tweets if they followed Ben's account. The was no unsolicited pushing.
