Are you suggesting to get a Gmail account, turn on the setting that makes Twitter email you notifications, mark tweets as spam in Gmail, and then use Google's spam detection as an existence proof of a solution if it's successful?

No, he's saying people by-and-large can't defeat Gmail's spam detection.

The same will likely happen at twitter.

It took them years to let users upload images (when there was a clear demand and parasite services grew out of this) and there's obvious spam accounts that could've shadow banned with very simple heuristics.

So I don't think this is going to happen.

I suspect their spam/abuse trouble started getting a bit more attention after Disney dropped an acquisition over it in October.
