This is just another attempt at establishing a new status quo for other social media before Twitter dies a death due to the insurmountable debt that Musk's purchase saddled it with. We've had a bunch of things tried, so far the only thing that stuck was charging for API access (which reddit soon adopted). Let's not have this as well, please.

My tracking app doesn't let this site load at all, so I didn't read the article, but fuck musk. Will he remove ads when people pay them? I forgot my password for Twitter since last year and never bothered to log back into that cesspool
Meanwhile, everyone will bitch about the absurdity of this and how shitty Musk and his followers are, then continue to use the platform daily as though it's an essential service. Anyone who hasn't jumped ship my now is either complacent or wholly supportive.

Who is going to pay to post on twitter? Not only has he destroyed what was there but he's stopping any route for growth with new users. Most people won't bother.
He really has managed to destroy that company with his knee jerk decisions.
People with "hot link in bio" and all that jazz
I never got the appeal of twitter/x, and I never will. I get other social networks, some more, some less, but Twitter's just stupid IMO. I hope that shit'll die sooner than later.
I can’t get past the og twitter which was everyone blogging minutiae of their life. What they ate for lunch. What street they’re walking down. What they thought of the music on the radio.
Somewhere along the way people tried to make it legit, but also it was people trying to claim firsties for any event worth mentioning.
It’s just a crap platform. Too much bs to wade through to find anything good.

Free speech is free speech only if your dictator tells you so.
You might want to do some research on what free speech means because this is cringe.
Social media was never about free speech.
Keep digging Musk. Lmao
