It'd be much better of if each Twitter user would become a verified user and pay $1/yr for normal plan with let's say notifications about posts/replies, $6/yr for read/write access and $12/yr for some premium plan. Maybe that'd make Twitter better off financially and better platform in general. Each time I post something from my blog here I get natural organic comments etc.. Each time I post on Twitter, I get some bots following me, retweeting and others. I'd much rather pay and know there is real life there.
- foxylad 10y agoI agree. I've always been non-plussed at Twitter's valuation, given the lack of a clear monetization scheme, but then so many early unicorns were the same - eyeballs were the primary goal, with vague assumptions that revenue will automatically follow. And I agree that if you had to pay (I'd go for a dollar a month) to tweet, it would cure many of Twitter's ills. Bots, scams and fake news would pretty much disappear overnight.
- dmoy 10y agoThe worry is probably that most of their userbase would also disappear overnight...
