Wow I hope not. Conflating these concepts sounds terrible.

I think they have a problem with hated content that's technically allowed - "buy AnimalCoin" etc. I would hate to just be brigaded against, though, Twitter already feels like a wild west of getting unwelcome replies

But "buy my newest stable coin" is precisely what the spam button exists to report - "grass roots advertising" is a blight on humanity.
