Seen about 5 variations of this argument already. It's a really bad take.

 

[rvZA]

No

So just out of this survey currently, 6.25% is willing to pay.

396.5mil users globally with an average of 6.25% take-up
6.25% = (24 781 250 users)
24 781 250 x $8 = $198 250 000 a month

That is 221.94 months for ROI.
Or, 18/19 years

Even if the number looks small, it's not as small as it seems. That is up and above normal revenue streams.

They're still going to be collecting your data.

Will you pay Twitter $8 a month for verification and a host of other features such as:

NO, I would never

Another great thing about this feature. It will probably drown out what was termed "Black Twitter" here in South Africa. That's a win too.

No. Only use for the EPL soccer updates.

 

[AstroTurf]

No but cause Elon Musk said price will vary by region, and also because I hardly ever use twitter.

 

[rietrot]

Lol nope. Not on twitter.

Why would it?

 

[Pitbull]

Why would it?

You think Mr. EFF is going to pay $8 to have his posts promoted? Those things will be drowned out by the "Verified" users.

Since you are "Verified" you also lose your anonymity, which is something the Black Twitter people are hiding behind.

I pay Telegram premium monthly, but twitter has been a leftie cesspool for far too long - didn't lose anything there.
If Musk can pull Twitter together then I'll use it, but don't need validation at $8.

They do not have to pay anything, they just use the free version.

 

[Likhayam]

No. Have never used Twitter.

I used for a short period & realised it isn't the space for me infact, 90% of all social media is a waste of time. U realise when u read comments in the comments section

 

[AfricanTech]

No reason to do so.

I don't create or consume much on the Twitter platform.

 

[Domoreto]

I was only using it to get info on the power failures and repair statuses...
Lets hope City Power pays US $8 - so now, with the blue badge, we can trust them ;-)

 

[NightShift]

I enjoy twitter a great deal. I have several accounts, and each of them are aligned with different interests. $8 is for a blue tick, which quite honest, I don't think anyone over here on mybb really needs. So I'm not going to pay for that.

What for?
