There's really only one solution to Twitter's problem, and anything short of it is just nonsense placating. They have to open up profile verificatio
There’s another solution: the platform is free if you have less than n followers or follow less than n users. Say n is 15 for example. Above that you pay for every tweet. On a sliding scale, say the first tweet/day is 5c, the 10th is $1. They could even ditch scammy advertising - brands who wanted to “engage” would simply pay directly to tweet.
- swvjeff 8y agoI'm sorry but that is just a horrendous idea unless N is a very high number
- gaius 8y agoWhy do you think so? It would solve all Twitter’s financial and social/cultural problems practically overnight
- deadmetheny 8y agoTwitter needs its users infinitely more than Twitter's users need Twitter. Charging anyone to use the service at all is counter-productive.
