Even with bots, 72 MILLION messages would require a ton of server capacity over just two days. Hell, it's probably more traffic than her entire company gets in a month. Wikipedia gets like 100-200 requests per server per second.
She blocked Twitter users for calling her a TERF, which means you'd have to generate new profiles just so she could receive them, along with unique emails for each, making sure they're not all coming from the same IP address.
No one running bot accounts going to:
Risk getting huge numbers of their bots banned by tying them all to one super targetted harassment campaign
OR
Waste the money/compute needed to send millions of messages per account when sending 50-100 messages would have the same effect.
How would she even be able to determine that number? She's not gonna sift through 72 million messages just to count the number of threats down to the last digit. The lil badge counters for messages/replies/etc max out at 3-4 digits, so she'd have to use a 3rd party client that displays that number to even know how many messages she had.
Far more likely she's exaggerating the number to sell the need for her product.
I feel like this has to be real because weed number big funny. It's just screams leftist humor.
Edit: I know it's bullshit, but I REALLY want to believe it's real because weed number do be big funny.
No way it's a real number.
