Stop Twitter Spam

You follow 8,742 people and have 235 followers. You are a spammer. You’re doing exactly what email spammers do. You’re throwing out as many links as you can hoping to get a few nibbles. And there are a few people who follow you back. And all of a sudden, you think you’re popular. You’re not. You’re a spammer.
