Question 1

Don't use Round Year Fun, it's a scam.

Accepted Answer

What is Round Year Fun?

It's a web application created a few years ago, after seeing the success of Affinitweet. They wanted to build on this success by copying our features to generate money with the ads they display. The problem is that they didn't stop there.

Why is it a (very) bad application?

For users (you):

They host malwares that compromises your security
They make you follow Twitter accounts without your consent
They post tweets without your consent

For us :

They copy our features (if they could at least do it well)
They block our Twitter account for their users
They turn their evil deeds on us

Why are they doing all this?

There is only one motivation: money. It's simple, silly, but it all makes sense.

In addition to this site where they make money thanks to advertisements, they have created a site for buying followers… and so in your opinion which accounts are followed by their users and then transferred so that they don't notice them? Yes, those who buy followers on their second site.

Why do they block us? Because we are trying to put an end to their actions (as long as they remain harmful to people).

What is the evidence?

The main evidence that this is a harmful application is that Twitter is preventing the publication of tweets containing a link from their site. To propagate their services, they use clockurl, a shortener platform for URLs (certainly their own) that Twitter cannot block at the moment. Try to p

Question 2

I heard Affinitweet is a scam, is that true? (no)

Accepted Answer

No, Affinitweet is not a scam.

You may have already read tweets/rumours on Twitter reporting that we were following Twitter accounts, blocking or muting other Twitter accounts and deleting the email address without the consent of our users. All these rumours are false and come from a site copying our features: Round Year Fun, who are doing all these bad things and blaming it on us. WE DON'T DO IT.

How do we make sure it's them and not us?

There are two simple ways to prove it :

If you've used Affinitweet before but never their services, none of this will have happened to you
If you have not used Affinitweet but their services, it is possible that this has happened to you

If you haven't used either Affinitweet or their services, you can ask someone who fits into one of the two cases or see proofs on the post mentioned below.

Also, they have fun blocking our Twitter account to anyone registering on their site. So if you have the account @affinitweet_ blocked (and you didn't do it), then unfortunately you are one of their victims.

They are more harmful than you think

Question 3

Why ask for so many permissions?

Accepted Answer

When you connect to Affinitweet with your Twitter account, you can see that we ask for a list of many permissions. We understand if you're skeptical about the relevance of some, or scared of others. But why ask for so many permissions? Here are the explanations.

When you create an application on Twitter, you have to choose between 3 types of permissions:

List of Twitter permission choices

On Affinitweet we ask for read and write access to your account because we need to see your tweets (especially if you have a private account), but also to publish them if you enabled the auto-tweet.

Read access allows us to read and write access allows you to update all the data in your account. Twitter therefore details everything we might be able to do with these permissions, even if we won't do it for some. And unfortunately it is not possible to specify the permissions more than that.

We need a write access to your profile because we would be able to automatically tweet your results if you have enabled the option in your profile. Also, some features may update your profile or profile picture for example, but always with your consent.

So here's the reason: Twitter doesn't allow us to specify what we want 😕
