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.”

NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world on 23 Dec 07:08 collapse

so why not make it $200 a month?

Why not make it $200 a week?

“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'

  1. Elon wants more money
  2. Elon wants X to be profitable now
  3. He wants to destroy X so Bluesky can take the throne
  4. He wants Truth Socia to be profitable

The non-bot accounts are leaving the platform, what should we do?

Quick, milk the rubes!

RubberElectrons@lemmy.world on 23 Dec 05:24 next collapse

How about I pay zero dollars to continue never using that shithole.

Not asking, fuck you Elon.

Greg@lemmy.ca on 23 Dec 05:35 next collapse

Those bots are not going to be happy

Zier@fedia.io on 23 Dec 07:09 next collapse

So if you add 10 million more bots @ $22/a month that's a lot of money laundering.

46_and_2@lemmy.world on 23 Dec 13:23 collapse

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…

All that free speech ain’t free, you know.

It is if you don’t buy premium.

Oh Elon, are you planning on doing the TikTok treatment on Bluesky next?

ohlaph@lemmy.world on 23 Dec 08:48 next collapse

It’s premium prices.

3aqn5k6ryk@lemmy.world on 23 Dec 08:53 next collapse

Kek. “adjusting” the prices to support the experience it offers. What experiences you dumbfuck.

AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space on 23 Dec 10:31 next collapse

It doesn’t have to be competitive any more than the room rates at the Trump Hotel in DC.

SplashJackson@lemmy.ca on 23 Dec 10:35 next collapse

What the fuck is a “premium” X?

OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca on 23 Dec 12:14 collapse

Premium X is sparkling diarrhea, only produced by the finest assholes on the internet.

ICastFist@programming.dev on 23 Dec 12:08 next collapse

Who is stupid enough to be paying for that shit? Or is this premium+ what bot accounts need to reach the masses like elon’s shit takes?

JoeKrogan@lemmy.world on 23 Dec 13:20 next collapse

They should jack it up by 100%

Wayland is better anyway.
