I would rather be addicted to MR, where I can better control the flow of what I want to see and respond to (tech wise). I have no desire to go swimming in the Twitter cesspool.

You can just create a list on twitter.
I have paid for the old twitterrific but not the new one. At least you can download videos unlike TB
I did nothing you describe on Twitter.
This...
I downloaded this and tried it, not very intuitive at all. Deleted and stick with the free client. I would pay for a client that had some nice whistles and bells, this was not it...
It's not about the money. It's about sending a message.
I have both the mac and ios version which is v5. I won't purchase until they sort out what is what.So they haven’t decided...
This is where they will lose me. I don't see the point paying two subs for the same service but I get the feeling that's where we'll end up.
I don't know if I'm a minority in how I use it but I use it to follow interesting people from a very specific industry. I curate that list heavily and if someone tweets too much stuff off-topic they're gone. I don't engage in "trends", or news or any of that other garbage so it's a very positive, educational service for me.
You know, while $6/year seems quite reasonable - overall it adds up and all subscriptions will costs hundreds if not thousands dollars per year, per each year.
If some time ago I was up for the subscriptions, now I am trying to avoid it at all costs, because I am not that rich.
Let's imagine:
Dropbox - 11.99$/mo = 143.88$
Netflix - 17.99$/mo = 215.88$
Spotify - 9.99$/mo = 119.88$
Medium - 4.99$/mo = 59.88$
Fantastical - 4.99$/mo = 59.88$
SleepCycle - ---------- = 39.99$
Tweetbot - 0.99$/mo = 11.88$
Parcel - --------------- = 2.99$
Xbox Game Pass = 14.99$/mo = 179.88$
===
Total per year: 834.14$
You may say, hold on but if you pay then you use it. But in reality average user barely uses these services so much that he needs to pay a subscription for it.
For example, Dropbox, mostly used for backups. Costs 144$/yr, while 1TB Seagate Basic HDD costs 48$ and can last you years. And in 5 years you will pay 720$ for Dropbox and 48$ for HDD.
If you are not that rich, why would you want to subscribe all of these overpriced services like Dropbox and Netflix?
What would be your suggestion? Don't know any good alternatives for Netflix. For cloud storage the cheapest option I know is OneDrive 1TB for 6.99$ or iCloud Drive 200GB for 2.99$.
P. S. Currently I am not subscribed to any, but couple of months ago I was.
I don’t subscribe to Dropbox, but the point isn’t mass storage, it’s easily accessible storage, and storage where you can share things with other people easily. If you’re just using it as extra hard drive space, yeah.
SleepCycle did a bait and switch on users—they had a paid app (which I bought in good faith) that they then changed to a subscription app. They didn’t make a NEW app, they changed it under everyone’s feet. I managed to berate them into giving me a permanent license, but taking away features and then locking them behind a subscription is terrible. Alas, it really is the best sleep tracker.
But Tweetbot is $6/YEAR, and for that I don’t have to put up with twitter’s ads, lists are first-class citizens, I get timeline syncing between devices, and I finally get notifications back. And I don’t have to put up with it recommending stuff I didn’t ask for to me like the official app does.
It’s $6/yr or very probably losing the app all together. I’ll pay.
In case of easy sharing - I agree, and if you need to share such big files, that is not possible to transfer with wetransfer or free Google Drive plans (15GB) - most likely it's for your work and this is a different case, and even 250$/year is reasonable price for work related thing.
But, people use cloud storage not only for work, but for the backup of their photos and other important files, and pay for it same or almost same price. iCloud Drive 2TB costs 9.99$/mo.
I am not a fan of subscriptions but if you are going to do one, then six dollars a year it’s pretty reasonable. I think more app developers would be more successful at that price point.
Mostly moved away from Twitter over the years as it's become more of a dumpster fire. This final nudge should be enough to get me off Twitter completely – thanks, Tweetbot!
R.I.P., Tweetbot. We loved you... before Twitter screwed you up. Even a ridiculously reasonable price like $6 per year is unreasonable when Twitter can shut off half your features at the drop of a hat.
This is a welcome change - so far I've been purchasing Tweetbot 5's Tip IAPs to send 12 euros Tapbots' way each year I've actively used the app, but now with the subscription I can automate that (and Tapbots has priced the subscription below what I was contributing so it saves me money).
Win-win.
Win-win.
Yo. Today I spent $9.28 on a Scotch Ale at a brewery. Tweetbot's a steal.
