Well, one more reason to ignore that platform on it's way to obsolescence.
WHY THE FUCK IS ANYONE ON TWITTER ANYMORE.
I went to check it out yesterday and I think I actually got dumber in 5 minutes I spent there.

"Unfortunately, a small fee for new user write access is the only way to curb the relentless onslaught of bots," Musk wrote on X.
...that makes no sense. By "bots" usually we mean accounts that advertise one thing or another to make money. And if there's any cause worth paying money for, it's making more money. But some sports fan or BTS stan or whatever just wanting to cheer on their thing is just gonna stop posting.
Well, you can invest money to get rid of bots, or you can try to make money to get rid of bots. He tries the latter, and will kill the platform doing that.
Meh, you still ise Twitter, you get what you deserve.

Money is speech? This is clearly in-line with current US legal definitions so what's the problem?
\s
Please. I truly want to see my favorite people on Twitter get driven to a better platform.
Unfortunately, they’re going to Threads. Although I guess that’s technically better. But better in the sense that drinking piss is better than eating shit.

*Only $4.99/month, yeah, definitely "free"
They should do that for meeting people for dating....like a love tax or something... Pay some random so you can talk to people of your interested sex.

This isn't useful or sufficient. You have to consider how many bots get banned and cost to determine efficacy. If you want 10,000 fake people to manipulate real people $10,000 doesn't seem a high price if you make the fake people act organic enough that they largely aren't banned.
It would be more useful if a singular service verified sufficient credentials to prove you were an authentic human and allowed you to auth to various sites. This in turn creates the problem that verifiers now know a LOT about your online life.
If the verification involved site -> verifier -> government held public key I think you could arrange so that none of the parties had enough info to identify users.
This is desperately needed
tfw the free speech isn't even free monetarily
