Influencer marketing agencies spam devs with paid QT-spam packages on X
giffmana · x · 2026-09-16
Replying to a question about how paid coordinated QT campaigns work on X, giffmana says he's recently been spammed by self-described influencer marketing agencies. He checked the two most recent ones — named "inpander" and "mandala media" — apparently selling packages where N big accounts QT-spam an upcoming launch. He doesn't know their pricing since he never engages, but the exchange sheds light on the gray-market ecosystem of paying multiple large accounts to amplify a post simultaneously.
