Because:
a) Twitter Blue comments are always placed ahead of everyone else but yet their quality is almost always poor. Many popular threads will have nothing but emojis for the first few pages.
b) Alternatives like Threads don't yet have all of the features that Twitter has e.g. hashtags. This is preventing many users from migrating.
- afavour 3y agoWorth pointing out that since Twitter started paying Blue users for their content this has gotten worse. They’re replying to everything, everywhere in the hopes of engagement and thus payout. Blocking all of them feels heavy handed but honestly would make the site a lot better.
- Barrin92 3y ago>engagement and thus payout. can we also for a second talk about how much of a racket this is? "Give me 8 dollars so I can pay you more back" is a business model on the level of a Nigerian email scam, clearly for this to even make sense for Twitter the vast majority will never get any money out of this
