Also, "the kind of service that social media and privacy reformists have been asking for" is very much a stretch. There's been no substantial change to the Twitter policy, and the whole thing is still centered on an algorithm-driven timeline. It's exactly the same Twitter as before, except it's got a paid subscription. There's no "flipping" in the economy -- automatically driving the right story to the right users is still the main proposition and user attention is still the main product, except some of them are also paying for it now, for some reason. Edit: also, remember that time when Twitter banned the ElonJet dude (okay, doxxing, makes total sense), then a bunch of journalists who covered the ElonJet story, then journalists who covered Twitter banning a bunch of journalists who covered the ElonJet story?
