I'm not saying it's right, but it does feel scummy. If you think about it, it feels way less scummy to just ask for money. Asking for a tweet is like saying, here you can have this free thing if you degrade your friends' experience on twitter by a tiny amount first.
Do it a bunch and it adds up.
Whereas me paying someone one dollar doesn't degrade all of my friends' twitter streams.
I know I don't want to read people's "free stuff" tweets. I'd rather they didn't show up in my feed. I only want to read recommendations when they are genuine. Not when they were required.
I deleted my Twitter account, so when people do this, I can't even use it to try to promote it - no less the argument that I'm not going to promote something I haven't even used. People do this all the time on Dribbble and it's really frustrating.
slmt, you've been hellbanned, nobody can see your posts (unless they have showdead on). since it looks like you're a new user, just make a new account - and try not to make any more posts like this until you've been around awhile and proven you aren't a troll:
