Why would they leave Twitter/X? There's so much needless Musk-bashing ever since he made the purchase.
- stonogo 3y agoThey left because Twitter started demanding thousands of dollars for organizations to maintain 'verified' status. Not just journalism outfits, but any 'organization,' to include e.g. popular web comics. NPR decided the value prop wasn't worth the fee. This article seems to indicate they made the right call, from a dollars/engagement ratio.
