Auto-DM’s suck. All to often this automation setting is used by spammers to send DM’s for every offer under the sun.
If you want to get rid of automated DM’s you can eliminate most of them with a few simple steps.
Most auto-DM’s come from Social Omph and here is how you can stop them:
- Go to http://twitter.com/optmeout and follow this profile.
