DOGE Co-founder Says He Sees Fewer Spambots, Thinks Twitter Has Done Something

The co-founder of Dogecoin DOGE/USD, Billy Markus, has gone on Twitter to talk about cryptocurrency bots on the platform. 

He tweeted, saying he sees fewer spambots than before and wondered if Twitter has done anything about the issue.

i’m… seeing less twitter crypto scam bots?

why is nobody talking about this!

Marcus said he has noticed that the amount of crypto spambots he sees on Twitter has decreased significantly.

i wonder if the cost of mass spamming the same obvious stupid scam exceeded the amount of people gullible enough to believe the obvious stupid scam, or if twitter actually did something

He then referred to 200 Binance CZ bots, which would respond to his tweets immediately. However, he said there are now only 20.

(and by less i mean, instead of 200 immediate ones every tweet, there’s “only” like 20 obvious scam bots!)

Responding to Markus, one of his followers said this could be natural selection. 

Maybe natural selection? Any people dumb enough to get scammed already got scammed and no one clicks the links anymore forcing scammers to cut costs?

A Twitter user named @WholeMarsBlog said he sees the same amount of bots.

Here is how Marcus responded to him.

Last month, Marcus and Elon Musk trolled crypto spambots and tweeted about YouTube crypto scammers that used the name of Uniswap to scoop cash from small investors.

Nice. I’m dressing up as a sink & knocking on random doors. Once they see me, they will have no choice but to let that sink in.

Since Musk offered to buy Twitter, he has been vocal about Twitter bots and has asked the company to address the problem.
