Honestly, as a user, I wish this option existed for all ad-supported platforms/services.
I have no idea if it makes business sense, I don't trust Twitter to stick to it long term, it will probably cost way more than I'm willing to pay, and also I hate Twitter, but the idea of paying to opt out of surveillance, ads, algorithmic feeds, etc. is appealing (note: I don't think Twitter mentioned anything except "zero ads"--I'm just commenting on the general idea).
- Zigurd 4y agoI bought YouTube premium because I watch quite a lot of technical videos and the ads got tiresome. I wouldn't pay for Twitter ads to go away since I don't use Twitter for reasons that would keep there if the ads got too annoying, but I agree it should be an option on more platforms. That said I wonder if YouTube Premium would be as good a deal if it did not include ad free YouTube Music, which I've found to be an under-appreciated music service.
