Check the reply comments of any big crypto Twitter account. Check the comments of ELon's own Twitter account. No shortage of obvious scams by bots or hijacked accounts. The problem seems to be worse than twitter let on. Other stuff is obviously bot-generated even if not spam, comments like "very nice project" that are out of context and by an account with a generic girl avatar.
Spend 1 week advertising on Twitter.

Most of the clicks are fake.

Not some, not “a sizable amount” … no. A LARGE MAJORITY of the clicks are from spam / fake / bot accounts.

The problem is orders of magnitude greater than Twitter says it is.

Anyone who has advertised on Twitter knows this.
