Am I the only one who would pay $10/mth for twitter if it meant I could only be tweeted at by other people who are also paying?

- tw1010 9y agoDo you really think it's that bad? Can't you just ignore them?
- sp332 9y agoHow would you read messages sent only from certain people? I mean there's a whitelist but nothing like allowing a whole category of people.
- tw1010 9y agoWell if you're fine with ocular whitelisting then you could just try to not let the comments you find offensive affect you.
- sp332 9y agoThat sounds terrible. If someone is socializing or doing business, they don't want to wade through graphic death and rape threats at the same time. Even if it were possible to make themselves desensitized, why would they want to? That sounds like a recipe for not letting anything affect them, even messages they want.
- anomie31 9y agoLike somethingawful.com?
- arnaudsm 9y agoThere's no known correlation between being Rich and not being an Asshole.
- neom 9y agoTotally. I'm kinda off topic, sorry. More the epic amounts of troll and fake accounts. I deleted my Twitter account at about 15k followers, the trolling and spam got too much. Point well taken! :)
- vim_wannabe 9y agoI think he meant a paywall, kind of like how some services don't waste their time offering free accounts and receiving tons of support requests. Billy Gates also famously pondered charging a fee for sending email to reduce spam.
- krapp 9y agoPaying for an account also leads people to feel they're entitled to do whatever they like with it, which might be counterproductive to encouraging civility.
- jhanschoo 9y agoI’ve more commonly heard anecdotes to the opposite conclusion; receivers of free work often value it little and feel entitled to request improvements, while paying users value the service enough to pay.
- hylianwarrior 9y agoYeah, you're the only one.
