I think people are blowing this out of proportion. They're focused too hard on "gaming the algorithm to go viral" and think that every little thing about it is a negative and never consider that their content just sucks.
I don't care about any of the tricks or throttling of my posts that have links in them... I still average about half to a million impressions on my tweets every 2 weeks, and if I decide to really get into things ~5M impressions a month.
