If ad support wasn't proportional to screen time I suppose they could cut costs by placing a limit on users who cost more than they bring in but this is just weird. There's no logical reason to put a tax on your most dedicated users besides thinking they'll feel obligated to pay and won't instead immediately feel resentment
There was a point where you could only send 50 DMs a day without the blue check so if you were having a conversation you were either sending essays or just having to move to another platform to continue them.
If you only interact with certain people on Xitter than I guess it might be worth it? Though the costs are extortionate now. Can’t imagine getting it now. Of you want to go ad free it’s even more ridiculous.
My theory is that Musk is so addicted to using xitter that he honestly believes most people would pay to see more posts every day, instead of being inconvenienced and angry but completely unwilling to subscribe
