I was going to comment that $7 seems far too deminimus to even raise an eyebrow and refusing to pay it as a media org is rather petty.
But from the article, I now see that Twitter is charging $1,000/mo for organizations. Still not a huge amount for someone as big as the NYT but that is a lot for most orgs. So I think Twitter is the petty one in this case.
- joegahona 4y agoThere’s conflicting info flying around. Elon said somewhere that the “Top 10,000 organizations will be grandfathered in.” [1] Lots of publishers — Vox, Buzzfeed, Washington Post, CNN — now have a gold checkmark, which denotes an organization. I question whether they all signed up for the $1,000/month plan. I think Elon stripped the NY Times and kept them out of organizational status out of spite, because they publicly tweeted that they wouldn’t sign up.
