       | Even if used mostly by promoters, spammers, trolls, bots, etc.,
       | who want to pay to direct message, it still seems like a win/win
       | for everyone. They get their eyeballs on message, the receiver
       | gets paid for their attention, Twitter likely will get some
       | additional revenue.

       | I personally get spam DMs too, even though I intentionally keep
       | my follower count low, so I can see how this would cut down on
       | spam by a huge amount for bigger accounts.

         | going (which may or may not be likely, granted).
