twitter making everyone pay for a signer now

Paying has become the only solution to avoid spam bots.

I actually think this makes spam bots easier?

Paying $100k / year for 100k accounts for a motivated entity is cheap, especially if these accounts will now have a strong not-a-bot signal

You can do a lot with 100k accounts

Yes, the point you raised makes a lot of sense. While paying can provide a method to resist spam bots, it may not be a perfect solution for some motivated entities. They might be willing to pay a relatively small fee to acquire a large number of accounts and continue with spamming.

paying $100k a year is cheap in comparison to what?
this logic just makes no sense
raising the price 100% reduces incentive to spam
