Sultan ... lots of people here can call me pedantic (deservingly so, even) without a hint of irony. You're not one of them.
Sigh ... I jumped to that conclusion because it's exactly what you wrote.My apologies (?) for reacting to what was written and not what you now say you meant.
No, I'm not paying $10 a month to see a link to an article that is already behind a paywall. I've considered unfollowing the news outlets that paywall all of their articles. No shot I pay for an ad to see an ad.If twitter ever becomes a subscription model, I'm 100% out and so will be 75% of it's users. Which will kill it.
Outrageous when businesses ask you to pay for some of their products.
Any twats heer? Any truth two da rumor dat Scoop iz gonna charge $20/month four a green check ✅, hey?
I would say the free board is completely worth the cost.
Surprised this is still going, but I'm guessing the pay-for-verification model will be the end of Twitter. The only point of verification is so you know the account saying something actually belongs to the person it purports to be.When 75% of the blue checks refuse to pay, it will lead to a wave of clone accounts, basically drawing in more of the bots Musk claims he doesn't want. Without verification, many of those accounts will just migrate elsewhere, which will lessen the value of the site.Musk simply doesn't get how any of this works. He made a trolling joke about buying the company and foolishly took it too far, now he's stuck with a platform that isn't worth what he paid for it.
It’s like watching the PE firm that bought Desdspin whole fundamentally misunderstanding what it was they bought and destroying their investment all over again. Kinda funny tbh.
I'll just put this right herehttps://slate.com/technology/2022/11/the-case-that-elon-musk-knows-exactly-what-hes-doing-at-twitter.html
I've never twittered, and I've only read twits that someone I know links to.I subscribe to the NYT, WSJ, WaPo, Athletic, Bloomberg, Seeking Alpha and Charlotte Observer. I also can watch Reuters, CNN, Fox News, CNBC, MSNBC and all the network news shows I want. I can't imagine what I'd need Twitter for, but I'll be open-minded if someone wants to make a case.
I'm actually astounded so many of you "care" about twitter so much. I guess my expectations of you were too high.

Yeah I think it’s a good place. I follow some news and sports sites and some fun ones as well. It’s entertaining. If it’s not for you, that’s fine too.

Gee Herman I think you are on to something. Whenever the MODS lock a thread just start a new one: 2.0, 3.0 etc. I always thought it counter productive to lock a thread, why not just suspend the "bad actors" for a while and keep the discussion moving forward.
The key to enjoying Twitter is to never read the replies.
