Stephen 776 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) Musk is going to try desperately to make Twitter an extremely profitable platform that it simply isn't. The bad ideas will continue until profits improve, which may be never because Twitter just isn't extraordinarily profitable by design Edited November 1, 2022 by Stephen 776 April 1 Quote Link to comment
Doc Brown Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Yep. It's one big old scam that he wants to profit from. Quote Link to comment
TKrazyO Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 It's apparently $8 now. This defeats the purpose of verification since if they don't have certain rules in place, impersonators will be running wild. Quote Link to comment
Stephen 776 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I 100% think Musk believes verification is a cool kids club and not a service meant to stop impersonation. Quote Link to comment

Exactly. It's not meant to be a status symbol. Quote Link to comment
Doc Brown Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Heads up... Musk wants to paywall Twitter. So if y'all want to keep in touch with ppl best to do that sooner rather than later, just in case. Quote Link to comment

I can't see it. If it's just corporate accounts that's one thing... Quote Link to comment

He's been trying to get out of the deal. Quote Link to comment
Tyranogre Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 A lot of the “big name” advertisers have already abandoned ship. What’s most likely to happen is that Elon will gradually get bored/frustrated from people leaving the site over whatever shitty changes he makes until he eventually gives up and sells it back to the original owners for a fraction of what he originally paid for it.

Twitter ditches "official" check marks hours after launching them (msn.com) Truth stranger than fiction? Quote Link to comment
Doc Brown Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Tumblr trolled him. Quote Link to comment
Doc Brown Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) Oh boy... Wow. Can still report tweets themselves thankfully. And it gets worse. Edited November 13, 2022 by Doc Brown Quote Link to comment
