Those companies all spend money to create and/or license content. Twitter seems to want users to pay $8/mo and continue to see ads for the privilege of creating the content that brings users to Twitter?
- tinyhouse 4y agoThat's not it. Twitter is used for marketing by many (esp businesses but also individuals) so they will pay to better market themselves. The same way that LinkedIn charges money even thought they don't create anything besides the platform.
- tinus_hn 4y agoApparently Twitter needs 20000 employees to let those users create the content; they need to get paid!
- lupire 4y agoBrands don't post to be nice. They are posting ads for their business.
- TeMPOraL 4y agoYes? It's actually better for Twitter because they can get pocket most of the money. Companies aren't voluntarily charging barely enough to cover costs - they're being forced to do it by competition. Normally, they'll charge you as much as they can get away with. It would be news if Twitter, or anyone else for that matter, decided to voluntarily charge less for the sake of fairness to the users.
