Twitter links don't matter, they're nofollow.

They're not nofollow when Google gets them from the pipe feed and both Google and Bing use social media to some extent: https://searchengineland.com/what-social-signals-do-google-bing-really-count-55389

If you don't believe me about them not being nofollow when Google gets them, tweet a link to a new page right after you upload it without another link to it or visiting it with the tool bar or any other way for GBot to know where it is and watch how fast it gets spidered ... It's usually in < 5 seconds in my experience.
