Twitter has a new policy that states if you're blocked by a small number of people in a short space of time then your account will be shadow-banned (you can tweet but it won't show up in people's timelines). This is probably a quick and easy way to get caught out by that.
If your marketing strategy involves throwaway Twitter accounts (or spamming strangers via Twitter), you’re doing it - for any definition of “it” - wrong. Come up with something better; it’s not hard.
Thanks, this is something real quick the team did in a day for our internal use. This is more like Ask HN, I am open to ideas and thoughts to do it better :)

Basically, a marketer trying to force their stuff on people - interruption marketing - either doesn’t understand their value proposition well enough to spot ways that it can actually help customers, or is too lazy to act on those ideas.
I thought of like a version of cold emailing but more targetted. Just a little hack to get users. Not sure if this isn't ethical. But I am open to shutting it down if everyone thinks it's not ethical :) This isn't our primary product, just stumbled on the idea while I was exploring growth tactics.
