The worst thing is that the workflow to report spam has gotten a lot worse since the last 6 months. Now it takes 9 clicks

1. three dots

2. report spam

3. welcome message start report

4. who is this report for? myself, some specific group, everyone (??)

5. general info (attacked b/c of identity, harassed, spam, ... )

6. how is he doing this? (Posting misleading or deceptive links, leading to scams, phishing, or other malicious links, +6 more similarly verbose)

7. yes continue

8. submit

9. done

It used to be like 2 or 3 about 6 months ago but I remember after Musk started complaining they responded by somehow making it worse.

Also most of the reports are centered around harassment or racist comments when 90% of the bad content on twitter most people deal with is straight up scams. There should just be a big this is spam button.
