All that free speech ain’t free, you know.
It is if you don’t buy premium.
“What do you have to say to your advertisers?”
‘go fuck yourselves’
‘also we’re raising prices for an unrelated reason’
“There’s kind of a lot of people leaving X lately. How do you intend to reinvigorate the user base?”
‘this calls for a price increase’
Kek. “adjusting” the prices to support the experience it offers. What experiences you dumbfuck.
I feel like the people who pay for Twitter are probably dumb enough to pay whatever price the muskrat wants, so why not make it $200 a month?
Then there’s me.
“Twitter had a premium service??? What the hell would it even do??? I thought they abandoned the blue check mark thing.”
so why not make it $200 a month?
Why not make it $200 a week?
They should jack it up by 100%
So if you add 10 million more bots @ $22/a month that’s a lot of money laundering.
This seems like the most likely intended consequence to me. They probably know their userbase well, and actual humans declining aren’t gonna be swayed to stay by a price hike. Those bots, on the other hand…
The non-bot accounts are leaving the platform, what should we do?
Quick, milk the rubes!
It doesn’t have to be competitive any more than the room rates at the Trump Hotel in DC.
It’s premium prices.
Wayland is better anyway.
Those bots are not going to be happy
Oh Elon, are you planning on doing the TikTok treatment on Bluesky next?
How about I pay zero dollars to continue never using that shithole.
Not asking, fuck you Elon.
What the fuck is a “premium” X?
Premium X is sparkling diarrhea, only produced by the finest assholes on the internet.
- Elon wants more money
- Elon wants X to be profitable now
- He wants to destroy X so Bluesky can take the throne
- He wants Truth Socia to be profitable
It’s #1, always #1.
