Frankly this sounds like what Pinterest should be doing for revenue. Isn't basically what promoted tweets are for Twitter?

- pavel_lishin 15y agoPromoted tweets are a fucking scourge, at least so far. I've seen two - both times for something totally irrelevant to me. (What the hell is the Shell Houston 2012 Open? I have zero idea, and less than zero interest.)
- slouch 15y agoThe few promoted tweets I have seen were frighteningly targeted.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoI'd be happy to learn that I'm hard to market to.
- krschultz 15y agoI agree I don't like them either. I thought Twitter was going to settle on having people with >XX,000 followers pay something, Freemium style. But I guess ads are a better moneymaker and they will convert better in the feed.

That seems weird, like punishing people for their success, or letting others decide how much they should pay. (Unless, I suppose, that once you hit XX,000 followers nobody could follow you until you paid up.)
