Based on Twitter's history, the feature will be silently disabled and dropped from support after the first few months. No matter what features Twitter deploys for crowd control, people always find a way around it. And Twitter's decisions are so CEO driven that they only survive as long as it's on the CEO's radar. It's undoubtedly the worst way to run a major application that turns into pretty much a vital public service. The easiest way to counteract this move is to just run a bunch of automated accounts the parrot the exact same message. Trends are literally hijacked every day and brute forced onto everyone's view regularly because there is no way for Twitter to honestly control timelines to suit their profit... The way things are run are beyond dumb, and corruption has been present in operations as far as I can remember. It is utter torture on honest users, and eventually those honest users leave and never come back, and that's exactly when the investment will never be able to make a comeback in value. Social sites are successful when they appreciate users, but they always end up trying to convert a free service into a paid service, and that's when they die fast. Twitter already had disgruntled users, asking them to now pay is not going to go well at all.
