Twitter charges corporates for using Twitter? If anything, the consoles should charge Twitter, for bringing in users and content

  I'm gonna play devil's advocate here. If the goal is to remove corporations from Twitter and turn Twitter into platform paid by people for the people, than it could be a good thing. Enterprises just flood Twitter with spam.

    Except these integrations are used by the end users to post content to Twitter. If you really wanted to squeeze end users you could make them connect a premium account or something, but charging the console maker for the consumer's use of the integration is just stupid.

    In this case though, it's preventing the people from sharing things easily. It's not "Nintendo can't have a free account", it's "Nintendo's users can't post screenshots from Smash Bros without jumping through extra hoops".

    The devil doesn't operate on the basis of "If" though. Far too much of the Twitter takeover debacle has involved self-appointed Musk whisperers to translate his diffuse ramblings into something resembling a coherent business strategy. That ship sailed when $54bn in cash changed hands for a perma-unprofitable social media site full of anonymous, untargetable users. Take out the enterprise spam, and you'll be left with celebrity spam, Youtuber spam, Hustlebro spam, crypto spam....the list goes on. Most social media content is spam, not organic content posted 'just because'.
