When you're a Twitter botnet looking to become a sugar daddy or mommy, how do you go about meeting a potential match? We're going to go out on a limb and speculate that approaching @SethAbramson and @aaronjmate is unlikely to bear fruit in this department.

Searching for the phrase "Good Day your sugar mommy is here No nude, no sex needed" uncovers tweets from 21 accounts, all created between February and May 2019. Looking solely at tweet timings and apps used, one might conclude these accounts are organic. However. . .
The 21 accounts repeat tweets frequently, both within and across accounts. Although this doesn't prove automation (tweets could be copy/pasted by hand), it strongly suggests it and the activity is definitely coordinated. Nearly all hashtags used related to the #sugarbaby theme.
You'd expect an upstanding #sugardaddy/#sugarmommy/#sugarbaby botnet to use stolen pics, and this group of 21 accounts certainly does not disappoint - between Google, TinEye, and Yandex, we found it easy to find most of their profile photos elsewhere on the Internet.
That's a hard no, @smithwh11165288.
