Musk is betting on the $8 membership being a big hit, which immediately addresses a lot of the moderation issues.
It's gonna be a completely different paradigm than reddit. Herding cats into a box painted onto the ground vs. herding cats into a 8' high cage.
- eachro 4y agoReddit had the benefit of subreddit moderators policing their own. Twitter has no such thing. Maybe if you squint enough, big accounts block/muting bad actors in their replies can sort of count as self-policing but that does not prevent the bad actor from being a troll in someone else's replies.
- MisterSandman 4y agoThe $8 doesn't moderate anything. Most spammers, scammers and paid trolls already spend money on software to help them spam, scam and troll. $8 a month is hardly a deterrent. In my eyes, $8 creates more problems than solves. It's the normal, human twitter users who are more likely to NOT want to pay. The people who use Twitter to make money or obviously going to be most likely to pay the $8.
