That's not so much of a "hack", more like "fraud with enough extra steps to make it difficult to prosecute".

That doesn't mean that it wouldn't work. Adult websites have been accused of something similar: as the version goes, they'll take your (illegally published) video down on request, no questions asked, but "someone" will upload it again later.

I've never heard of anyone being prosecuted for this, though, which means that either it isn't true, or it is and your plan would work just fine.

Demonstrate that users on Twitter aren't bots. Otherwise I don't see a difference here.
