To me, this just reads like him obnoxiously spamming social media endlessly.

Interesting, so you feel like this is not a good model to follow?

What would you say are good methods of promoting an app?

Hey, I am the guy who wrote this article. This is definitely not what you want to do as it will backfire more than it will help. I only responded to tweets where people were asking for a solution to their problem. Many of them even asked specifically for an app. So that's not "obnoxiously spamming social media endlessly"
