I suppose this is the value prop:
1. For people who post, you will be treated better by the ranking and spam systems. The blue checkmark may be like the “blue bubbles” iMessage thing where it’s not-so-subtly a marker of ingroup status.
2. For readers, you get to see less ads.
I don’t use Twitter much, but I could imagine it being worth it for people who spend a lot of time on the app.

- fshbbdssbbgdd 4y agoSpammers are usually cycling through accounts rapidly. If they pay, that gets a lot harder. You’d still enforce against spammers who pay the $8, but the requirement to pay will reduce the volume and make the problem more manageable.
- encryptluks2 4y agoI guess it depends on what your definition of spam is. I think it people are paying to be promoted then it is the same as an ad, and to me ads are a form of spam if I don't want to see them.
