Those algos, ideally should weigh the twitter handle. Or else it's a stupid algo.
One need to spam through authoritative handles.
Pretty much like tricking google ranking algorithm with site-farms and fake backlinks. But hey, a lot of people were able to do this before Google started to improve its algo.
- chatmasta 9y agoTwitter can’t even tell the difference between an “authoritative” account and whatever the opposite is. If any bots are scraping twitter for altcoin signals, I would be pretty surprised if there were any checks other than num followers / join date / etc. Determining if a twitter account is a bot, even with minimal certainty, is NOT an easy project. And many of these crypto traders are not exactly John Carmack either.
