I see a really common pattern of "thing people like if they don't pay for it" being confused with "thing that we can use to print money if we make them pay for it instead."
I'm very curious to see if Twitter tries to push further down that road. It hasn't worked well for others. Quibi is probably the highest-profile example so far, misreading the market for short-form downtime video.
It's the cable TV model, in many ways, except missing the bit where cable quickly started to give you new exclusive channels that people couldn't get anything like anywhere else (HBO, ESPN) instead of just repackaging your locals.
