Twitter's problem from my perspective: 630 of 1273 of my followers have been real people / not marketing automatons. https://t.co/e5LOnAqhUa

In my view, automated spammy growthhacking marketers (and services), with their fake follows and faves, are what is destroying twitter.

I am against shaming tactics as a means to enforce social norms as they often end up being destructive. But not in the case of these people.

As way to discourage behavior that directly destabilizes twitter's ecosystem, shaming is the tool for the job. Although do so with empathy.

Its important that if you take part in shaming, you also come in with a mindset that they are just misguided. Shaming should include advice.

5% of twitter is bots: is true...? But I bet 99% of bots target English so we experience it more? Majority Illusion.https://t.co/1Y6Eioyi2O

Another way "5% of twitter" being automated is misleading: the amount of content they can generate is orders of magnitude more than humans.
