I'm not a twitter person, but when I see certain posts I do a quick BotSentinel scan, just cause.

The stock market is going down because all of these tech companies are way overvalued. It has nothing to do with the polls. Theyve been the same for months. You are getting clobbered.

It's a lot the same as here. Sometimes there are legit newbies but they need to earn some credibility before they're accepted without skepticism.

Twitter can check if web registrations are done via a proxy very easily and they are caught.
