Twitter: Find “Like for a [Gift]” Offers

Description

Used to find (most) Tweets offering a gift in return for liking their Tweet. This is a trend on Twitter and it ranges with benefits from giveaways to free follows and making new friends.

Search Query

Use the following string in the search box to find the corresponding Tweets.

(("Like this Tweet") AND ("for" OR ("and" AND ("I" OR "I'll" OR "I'm")) OR ("I" OR "I'll" OR "I'm"))) OR (("Like this") AND (("for a" OR "for an" OR "for me" OR "for") OR ("and" AND ("I" OR "I'll" OR "I'm")) OR ("I" OR "I'll" OR "I'm")))) -"mutual" -"mutuals only" -"only mutuals" -"RT @" exclude:replies exclude:nativeretweets

EXPLANATION

The intention is to curate Tweets exclusively referencing free things in return for liking that specific Tweet. The filter will not specifically track every possible Tweet; however, it will catch most Tweets. In addition, the query is designed to filter out Tweets excluding the open-ended offer to only those who currently follow the account and have the account follow them back (or are “mutuals”). This query only works in English, please use Twitter in English for this to properly work.

The query will include Tweets such as:

  • “If you like this Tweet, I'll send you a DM!”
  • “For every like this tweet gets I'll draw your avi”
  • “like this for an honest opinion”
  • “RT or Like this tweet for a chance to win an Xbox gift card!”

The query will EXCLUDE Tweets such as:

  • “If you like my art then donate to my Patreon!”
  • “Like and RT Zack's giveaway for a follow”
  • “Like this tweet and I'll draw you!! mutuals only plz”
  • “If ur a mutual then like this tweet and I'll draw your avi!”

Additional Filter

A RegEx filter is planned to come later to further filter and narrow down Tweets to exclude those which are irrelevant.
