This is much better then the bloated main UI. But I'd wish an option for an even lighter HN like interface. It still doesn't look to good in a text browser like elinks. One or 2 lines per tweet max would be ideal. That and a rss/atom feed that can be fed into the matrix network and clients. Originally it was a listing of 140c messages, ideal to quickly view the status of your friends to enhance social proprioception. Since then it unfortunately morphed into a bloated, marketing oriented and visual distraction party where it mostly serves the look at me and commercial agendas. Authenticity, tele-awareness, social proprioception and efficienty flew away with the original twitter bird. Did he have a name? Is he coming back one day?

They've got bills to pay. Something's gotta give. Are you willing to pay to use Twitter?

  I was just thinking why not go the extra mile, I'd pay for using this though 1$/month - but I could also make it myself through tampermonkey or the api

    Same here - I would pay $1/month without thinking. My max would be maybe $5/month, which I'd have to think about for a bit.

  I'd pay a bit to use twitter. What I'm concerned about is that I'd like something comparable to "reddit gold" - a means to pay for other people to use twitter so they can continue to post there for my and others' benefit.

> "...can be fed into the matrix network and clients..." There exists a matrix-to-twitter bridge that I believe allows for this use-case: https://github.com/Half-Shot/matrix-appservice-twitter https://github.com/Half-Shot/matrix-appservice-twitter It might only be alpha phase, but why not give it a shot? I'm not the developer for that, but am a happy user of the matrix protocol. Also, there are plenty of users leveraging matrix with several other bridges as well such as irc, slack, gitter, etc.
