5 million would be like 2% of their user base. You don’t think they can’t get that? I bet they could closer to 10% in the long term. Which would be closer to 30-40 million paid users. There are many paid add ons for Twitter. Imagining bring

Not a scam. A harder problem than originally thought. Also there are several companies working on this. So they’re in on the scam together? What a joke of an article. How about trying to be a little more honest about it and people might lis
