The whole twitter "turning" into a "cesspool" talk is pretty funny.
There's 8+ min pr0n videos on there right now.
Like 2009 era twitter where people are still getting tweets dug up from didn't happen. People were getting banned back when some were tweeting via text.
No one was crying free speech/persecution/cancelation...the game was just the game.
EXACTLY! Twitter is equally as raunchy and explicit as Fb, IG, etc. people are the same across all these platforms.

This would be great, there are a ton of people giving out valuable info everyday for free that would benefit from this.

Twitter already has super follow/subscriptions.
$20 to 8 just like that...hard to negotiate/run a business without government handouts

The troll and fake accounts doing the birdman handrub rn.
The scamming is going to be insane.
Imagine if YouTube or IG let anyone buy into verified account status
So many people already being fooled by fake accounts with the "Check your inbox/DM me for your prize"

Folks already paying hundreds of dollars a month for streaming and delivery services they barely use, but Twitter oh no that’s too much! Folks just don’t like change. Most of these people are going to end up paying it anyways. I wonder if they’ll add some benefits to it other than the perceived status.

If everyone has a blue checkmark, it kills the power of being verified.
I don't get the benefit in this.

Twitter used to be my favorite social media app in undergrad. It was useful.
Now I hate it.

ANYTHING that will allow folks to PAY to get "Exclusive" rights/feelings, people will jump on it.
Most people don't give a damn about Elon's politics, they just want to have a good time on Twitter.
So they WILL pay it.

So anyone can pay to get verified? Do you need to go thru a process to get verified? Like ID check or something?
There is always a curve when you go from free to paid. Even if eventually it is adopted its never a smooth transition.
When music was free from napster and then they started to try to charge people....it got rocky. Napster didn't survive but out of that came all the streaming services we have now. Its one thing to go from paid...to increase price. But free to paid is a little different.
Knowing Elon paid $44B for twitter and is immediately like "we need a revenue stream that isn't adds" seems weird...why did you buy the company in the first place then? People are cool just giving their money to a billionaire who bought a company that is supposidly worth $44B and now is asking for money? Idk...but will be excited to see if new companies pop up or if twitter can weather the storm

Even If you ignore big cats...domestic cats have different shaped faces, come in different sizes and different fur/coat lengths just like dogs.

Context of my post(about people not taking showers) since dude loves to slander on here for sport

Only time I take halfway showers is if I go swimming in a pool or in the sea and that’s just to get the chlorine or salt water off of me but as soon as I get home, I’m taking a proper shower

Are you verified on Twitter? Or anyone else in this thread? Curious to see if you plan on leaving due to being charged to keep it.

So Elon Musk is mocking capitalism?
Consumers get different levels of utility/satisfaction from different products.
So yeah, for millions more people, a Starbucks drink seems like a better deal than a blue check mark.

Ah yes, the time-honored strategy of mocking the users who make you money. I'm sure people who were otherwise going to ditch twitter have now been persuaded of their error
At $20 charging for a blue check would have generated a fairly insignificant amount of revenue (even ignoring the possible loss of advertising). At $8 it's laughably small
