Stop the Twitter bots stop the spam

Have you had any of these tweets recently? I can name a few that I have had and they really do frustrate me as there is nothing you can do to prevent them, they are in my opinion worse than email spam. They aren’t even from a real person so even If you complain or respond to the tweet you won’t necessarily get a response from them. Worse than that you will probably get another spam tweet for contacting them.

What do they provide to the person receiving them, is there any benefit? In some cases they could be useful although I can’t think of any right now. In my experience more often than not they are a waste of time and just clutter my twitter account. Have you had any experience of Twitter bots?
