The ad model works for instagram, youtube, and tiktok. Why can't it work for twitter? I don't understand why the mostly text-based site would be so much more expensive than the various other social media sites that don't require subscriptions to achieve high-reach. I'm sure it'll massively cut down on spam, but think Elon might be overestimating how much other ppl care about spam based on his own feed/replies/notifications.
- GekkePrutser 4y agoIt works financially but not ethically. Tracking users to maximize ad revenue is something advertisers demand and it's frowned on more and more. In the EU it's now illegal to do so without the user's consent. So.think it's smart to look at subscription business models and much more ethical too. At least you can give the user a choice now.

Perhaps the fired management can comment on why it didn't work for Twitter? > Elon might be overestimating how much other ppl care about spam based on his own feed/replies/notifications. Difference is one does not need to follow Elon if one thinks his content is spam. Disincentivizing ubiquitous spam created by bots out of the platform will reduce the noise overall so one can curate the list of those who they follow.
- sigmar 4y agoI'm not describing Elon's content as spam. I'm saying he receives more spam than most people, particularly because he likes to respond to ppl that @ him and is very into crypto.
