He’s gonna need to make up for those lost ad dollars somewhere. Might as well fleece a few sheep.

Bullish. Twitter should have turned a profit long time ago. Dorsey is a nitwit

Why does WSB care about twitter anymore? Can’t invest in it. Mollusk has bought a bag of advertising dicks and will have to stroke them or lose his ass and does anyone really care?

If he was smart he would load up on a crypto coin and then announce he is using said coin as the payment vehicle for Twitter. Then dump the initial investment in that coin. Not Doge because everyone already thinks it will be Doge or shib.

Twitter blue check is like validation for alot of people and businesses might want to use it..even if 1 million accounts are paying for it.. thats 240 million/year..elon is going to monetize the fuck out of twitter.

The likelier is that when the majority of people don't want to pay $20 there will be another network that comes and becomes popular. Twitter is popular because of it's userbase. If it loses a portion of that the people who are willing to pay follow.

We are about to find out.

Gotta laugh at Twitter Karens having meltdowns about this charge tho…

Honestly, it's a good idea. The big accounts are deriving millions of dollars of value from their twitter accounts.

Lol how can there be 1 million verified users who will pay when there are no more than 300k verified users period?

Out of the 300k verified users right now I guarantee you there won't be more than 15-20% who will pay. So that's what, 60k*240=14.4 million dollars a year? Far cry from your 240 million.

Can’t wait for Bloomberg tmrw and the multitude of experts w/ their sophomoric takes commenting on the “situation” at twitter — not knowing anything — while the actual people at twitter are scrambling // working on overdrive to make changes and improve, etc.

You’re talking like a huge nerd. Twitter has cultural significance you can’t just replace that overnight. And you really think people won’t pay to get verified when they pay for Spotify, Netflix, and any other subscription service? Clout is the only form of currency in social media and to most verified accounts, that would be a business expense.

i hate that shit - nobody ever names any sources anymore, and when your not found guilty of something the media reports No proof that something didn't happen ... I've seen a few public figures hit them back on it quite well. I think a majority of people are smart enough to know that they are being cute with their bullshit

If you did the work to get verified, I'm sure you can afford a couple of dollars a month.

Very doubtful. Go look at the Tweet that asked people to vote. 800k voters and 80% said they wouldn’t pay. Musk listens to the people, generally.

Lol so why aren't there more than 300k total verified users right now, when it's free? That's less than 1% of daily active users. That number isn't going to suddenly drastically increase "for clout" especially now that you have to pay for that "clout". It's absurd.

Lol. Why does it need to be overnight. Twitter currently doesn’t turn a profit.

If they don’t get to that it doesn’t matter how long they take it will fail. It can be a slow bleed ans I can still be right.

Silly.

Dude celebrities make many thousands per tweet promo. He could easily charge a $100k annual membership to the higher tier celebs based on follower account, make a cascading tier you pay based on followers down to the lowest rung maybe being $20.

It's so easy to turn this into a cash cow because the people making millions off their audiences would obviously pay for it since the ROI is still massive for them

I think they should have to pay if you make money using any platform. Even if its $5 bucks a month.

They'll bitch and moan then their finance manager will tell them to pay up because it's worth it. At least how I see it going down. Having that type of reach to your audience is pretty priceless and Twitter is the best means for quick short form messages to everyone that can be shared easily. Instagram and Facebook don't let them hit their followers in quite the same way.

Alt services don't stand a chance due to network effect Elon would have to really piss off everyone if it's just a few they can't really move effectively plus Parlor and those don't have the servers for massive amounts of people I don't think
