Who is stupid enough to be paying for that shit? Or is this premium+ what bot accounts need to reach the masses like elon's shit takes?
What the fuck is a "premium" X?
Premium X is sparkling diarrhea, only produced by the finest assholes on the internet.
How about I pay zero dollars to continue never using that shithole.
Not asking, fuck you Elon.
"What do you have to say to your advertisers?"
'go fuck yourselves'
'also we're raising prices for an unrelated reason'
"There's kind of a lot of people leaving X lately. How do you intend to reinvigorate the user base?"
'this calls for a price increase'
I feel like the people who pay for Twitter are probably dumb enough to pay whatever price the muskrat wants, so why not make it $200 a month?
Then there's me.
"Twitter had a premium service??? What the hell would it even do??? I thought they abandoned the blue check mark thing."
so why not make it $200 a month?
Why not make it $200 a week?
Kek. “adjusting” the prices to support the experience it offers. What experiences you dumbfuck.
All that free speech ain't free, you know.
It is if you don't buy premium.
The non-bot accounts are leaving the platform, what should we do?
Quick, milk the rubes!
They should jack it up by 100%
So if you add 10 million more bots @ $22/a month that's a lot of money laundering.
This seems like the most likely intended consequence to me. They probably know their userbase well, and actual humans declining aren't gonna be swayed to stay by a price hike. Those bots, on the other hand...
It doesn’t have to be competitive any more than the room rates at the Trump Hotel in DC.
Those bots are not going to be happy
- Elon wants more money
- Elon wants X to be profitable now
- He wants to destroy X so Bluesky can take the throne
- He wants Truth Socia to be profitable
It's #1, always #1.
It's premium prices.
Oh Elon, are you planning on doing the TikTok treatment on Bluesky next?
