The only thing I am seeing about giveaways is that some people are annoyed with them.
Why?
Because I don't follow people who are into giveaways.
It's too much noise for me. Not worth my time. So, I prevent them from wasting my time.

It’s more so how pervasive they can be, taking up entire blocks of the feed, even Kurt branched a giveaway. Also there was a giveaway that was ‘canceled’ by the OP but is still being branched and trending, basically a money grab.

I don’t participate in them, but those posts take away from everyone by diverting traffic to them. It’s in everyone’s incentive to try and stop these noob traps
It's called the cold shoulder...
Stop giving it attention, period.
Use the following feature purposefully. Signal:noise.
So should I unfollow @292 (Happy bday btw) because he infected my following feed?
Unfortunately the answer isn’t solely about me not giving giveaways attention
I dare you to! I have the most valuable giveaways on twetch!
I agree with you... But I'm also making a very deliberate point.
In order to get where you have in this response, you have had to actively, purposefully weigh the issue on some level.
And that is the solution to all of this.
Hopefully something like this will curb them:

Once there are stable twetch SDK bots running, are we likely to see some perverse incentives arise?
Eg. If user X pisses you off because they cancel a giveaway you could deploy an "Unfollow" Bot: Gives 5 likes to everyone who unfollows user X.
Interesting idea, sounds like a lot to run it in practice though
