Edit - looks like Twitter now finally supports direct video upload via the web client! Glad to see they finally addressed this. Good point :) I'd pay $10/month, easily, or even more - which is probably far more than I'm worth to Twitter as an ad viewer. Lets look at it from an ad perspective. I spent $50 in one day in a test run ad on Twitter that got me a couple hundred engagements (expanded views mostly) and a couple thousand impressions. On the other hand, one of my normal tweets (if it is any good) gets around 5x that reach, with a more targeted audience. So there is definitely some value in day-to-day usage that I am willing to pay for. I pay $10 a month to Twitch just to get rid of the ads, and I don't use twitch nearly as heavily, nor does it have as high a value to me. For the ability to easily upload high quality videos to Twitter alone (with auto expand and auto play, minus sound of course), I'd easily pay the $10/month I pay to Vimeo right now. I should add, Twitter isn't just about me spreading my word out, I get a ton of value as a consumer as well. The majority of projects I am interested in, I have learned about via Twitter. I have made more real-life friends (as in, people I have met in person) through Twitter, as compared to Facebook. I have helped other people succeed on Twitter by retweeting their campaigns. Etc... :)
