King responds saying Twitter should be paying him. I think that makes a lot of sense.
- amadeuspagel 4y agoCompletely wrongheaded. If anything, twitter should be paying anonymous users. Bluechecks are the ones who use twitter to build their personal brand, sell books, etc..
- freejazz 4y agoDo you not know who Steven King is? It's certainly easier to google him than to come up with a take like this in response.
- amadeuspagel 4y agoYes I do know who Steven King is. Even famous authors need to spend a lot of money on advertising when they publish a new book, and twitter certainly helps here. Also, HN has a rule against asking people whether they've read the article. Asking people whether they know who some famous person is, is obnoxious in the same way.
- memish 4y agoIt will be both. Pay to verify, get paid for creating content. "This will also give Twitter a revenue stream to reward content creators" https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1587505731611262976 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1587505731611262976
- schleck8 4y agoWhat kind of content is being created on Twitter that warrants being paid? Reddit works flawlessly without that in longer form
- mikkergp 4y agoagreed, it seems like Twitter is fundamentally about broadcasting content made somewhere else, not making content.
- rodgerd 4y agoPoints of view that Elon likes, I imagine. Especially ones that can't get revenue elsewhere for peddling pro-virus points of view, for example.
- MarcelOlsz 4y agoReddit the same site that deletes tons of comments and bans subreddits?
- lupire 4y agoFlawless has never been a word to describe Reddit.
- schleck8 4y agoDepends on the type of subs one frequents. Niche ones like StableDiffusion are super active with very in-depth discussion and tutorials being written. I rarely see that much commitment even for any Twitter thread
