I know the above probably means this is a longshot, but here's what I want from a subscription:
1. No promoted tweets
2. Permanently disable algorithmic timeline (what Twitter calls "Home")
That's it. I pay $12/month not to see ads on YouTube, and I'd easily pay that same amount for an ad+algorithm-free experience in the Twitter native app.
- jjeaff 6y agoI suspect that the people willing to pay $12 to avoid ads are also the most valuable targets for advertisers. I suspect in aggregate, they are actually worth much more than $12 month.
- dstaley 6y agoI suspect many of those who are ad-averse like me use third party clients and ad blockers, and have an inherent distrust of ads, so I doubt I'm worth much to an advertiser considering my engagement rate is zero.
