this is basically the equivalent of “we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas”
More like they’d rather have a platform of paying neo-nazi users than paying advertisers.
Look at truth social for how that worked.
Let’s see how that works out for them, already seems like it’s going swimmingly
I can’t see why you’d pay for a service that still had ads? It’s why I’ve never gotten cable - if I’m paying, I don’t want ads.
The whole “pay to avoid ads” model is so weird though.
You look at it backwards. It’s ‘watch ads to avoid paying’.
Paying is the default way to buy something.
Well, it’s the default way of paying for physical objects and professional services.
It hasn’t really been the default way of paying for online services.
That’s the problem if you want professional online services. Being the product should be the weird option.
I mean, not so much to me. You need to pay for something somehow, either via ads or money.
It’s the pinnacle of modern media. Why w- nevermind.
Hulu has somehow gotten away with it from the start, plenty of people don’t seem to mind. In my mind, if the network with greys anatomy has it in their contract that they are exempt from ad-free, what’s stopping other companies from leveraging their shows for that sweet ad rev?
Without the users, this platform has no value. No one is interested in it already, except for nazis, bigots, and crypto bros. Paying for this garbage makes no sense
Don’t forget sports fanatics and meme shitposters
And Japanese artists.
They will be completely fine, if it were to disappear tomorrow. Pixiv/fanbox has strong creator support and tools
Artists of all types. Egirls. Game creators. News organizations.
Those groups of people might be of the misunderstanding that people are still listening to them just because they are paying money.
Don’t forget how much Nazis enjoy supporting Nazis to own the non-Nazis.
So it’ll end up being a platform of trolls and bigots just screaming into the void and paying for the privilege. What a fabulous idea.
At the point if time, we’re just generating free traffic for him by continuously reminding they exist.
Just let Twitter die.
Twitter is already dead. It’s X now
But they’d both be dead if we didn’t keep posting so many reminders of them
Honestly, I don’t know what Jack Dorsey is waiting for. The instant Bluesky leaves its closed beta, basically everyone on Twitter is gonna jump ship, and Twitter’s transformation into Truth Social 2.0 will be complete.
The iron has been hot for a long while. What’s he waiting for?
Infrastructure I think. The last few waves of invites have brought instability to the system if i recall
I really really hope they eliminate the free tier. That might finally force people to move to other platforms.
Twitter Blue was a failure, and they want to double down on it? Hopefully there’s a mark on their profile so they get bullied again.

All they can do is take features away and charge users to put them back. I can’t wait until it dies.
For someone so clever he do make dumb decisions. I don’t have twitter anymore and people like me who left are the reason ad aren’t working.
“Ahhh, I know. Memberships, Elon you are a god”.
Only people like caturd are the type to buy stuff that gives them a fake sense of popularity.
Once you realize he never was clever, just wealthy, it starts to make more sense.
I will admit I was clueless to it until it was reported more and more. Its important that people understand that he is a very very rich charlatan.
Snake oil salesman with money for marketing
As tired as I am of hearing about Twitter and Musk, stories of his costly failures always entertain!
I’m going to sign up and issue a charge back to make sure I get banned as a customer
I prefer the web version with adblocker for zero ads experience that costs $0
They will just keep bleeding their loyal base of users dry until there is nothing left for them to give.
Musk wants to create a super app like WeChat. He needs credit cards first. He is turning Twitter into his old X.
It’s the Apple app ecosystem without people willing to hand over credit card information for iTunes music. Apple won the mobile phone market because they had customers willing to pay for apps.
