That's incredibly illogical. If you intentionally make something unbearable, you end up with X/Twitter. Google might be stupid, but they aren't Musk.

- anonymousab 3y agoThere are different kinds of unbearable. If Musk had simply cranked up the ads to increase revenue, it would have worked / probably wouldn't have hurt the platform like all his other changes. The problem at Twitter (from a short term profit perspective) is that his changes - or rather, what he wanted to do - were not all so simple.

Their reasoning could be that if they give you enough ads that make it unbearable, you will pay just to get rid of the ads and wants you to pay for it. Their reasoning could be that if they give you enough ads that make it unbearable, you will pay just to get rid of the ads. From a business perspective, it's completely logical.
