I’ve deleted my account way before Elon bought the company and haven’t been back since. When I was super active on Twitter which was many years ago and they said I had to pay a small fee every month I would have stopped using it right away. I don’t see the benefit of having social media and I sure as shit won’t pay for any of them. I’m in my 40’s so maybe it’s just me or my age but I can’t imagine anything on those platforms that would be worth a dollar a month.
Sounds like he’s trying to recoup lost revenue and I can’t imaging this is going to work out well for them.
"Let's make the content creators pay to make their content for us" has been the dumbest trend in the past few years
I use it to follow some art accounts but they usually also have a 2nd account somewhere else like DeviantArt or Pixiv.
Also the Progressbar account just tweeting how far along we are in the year.
Nothing of high value is lost.
No meaningfull comments were written like on Reddit, nobody uses it like imgur or gfycat so what purpose does it fill except doom scrolling?
