Twitter fighting the auto Direct Messages

I follow people to enjoy their feed or to give them support... then you get the dreaded auto dm. Follow me on XYZ platform or BUY THIS NOW! I don't know about you but I get sick and tired of the spam messages in my direct message folder.

Kudos to Twitter for working on this in a more blatant upfront manner.  Watch the video below to learn more or direct message me @TonieBoaman
