Twitter May Be Planning to Add More Premium Tiers

[jk73]

With the amount of shadow-banning and other account restrictions still in place on "X," even for those paying for X Pro, Musk might be facing yet another lawsuit soon. X Pro, right now, is a total racket.

Have these idiots not heard of Adblockers, or have they think they found some magical way around them?? Cause no one in their right mind would pay more than $8/mo just for an 'ad-free' experience.......

 

[gund1234]

we are all spoiled by Google.
they started giving free services in return for personal information.
it looks stupid to pay for these services now.

 

[Liquid Galaxy]

Imagine paying for X

 

[Apple$]

I just want to take a moment to appreciate that the headline calls it "Twitter", as it should, because X continues to be too stupid a name to actually use.

Even in the BBC News podcast, they still say Twitter.

 

[minik]

I don't mind paying for subscriptions but X is not one of them. Is the end goal be shutting it down by end of this year?

 

[triptolemus]

Just a reminder that it's absolutely free to block twitter at the firewall.

That is all.

Nazis, bigots, bots, Putin lovers, and clowns. X/twitter is a circus and Elon is the leader of the car.

I'd assume that's for the mobile app where you can't use ad blockers.

Tweetbot removed the ads and crud for about $1 a month. That is the only tier with a chance of saving Twitter. Plus Musk leaving and taking his X with him.

Someone recently asked me to explain Twitter and I said “Do you remember being at a really really good party, but then the awful kid arrives, you look around, and the kool kids have already left“.

Bring back the bird.

That "X" looks awful.

The only bird I’ll be giving is my finger to Elon, so right !

 

[threeseed]

I hope the Premium Tier forces more people to listen to me.

Because I have such amazing, brilliant things to say. My Mum says so all the time.

 

[drinkingtea]

I finally deleted my Twitter account. Screw Elon Musk.

 

[yustas]

...where do you draw the line ?

It used to be simple, but then facts got canceled. Now "free speech" is really about spreading "alternative facts" and other nonsense.

 

[DaveN]

About as worthwhile as paying the extra for the full self driving option on a Tesla that never gets completed.

 

[TheWetCoast]

And next month they will add Premium Silver, Premium Gold, and Premium Platinum.

And the month following that, Premium Ultra, Premium Ultra Plus and Premium Ultra Super Extra.

And the month after that …..

 

[Born Again]

Down with Elon!!!

Best investment ever.

 

[grmacken]

How is this news?? Elon said exactly this weeks ago but the media ran with "musk will make everyone pay for X" rather than report on what he said!

 

[Sciomar]

It was foretold by many in this community that X was doomed to fail and yet it is somehow still standing.

 

[movieator]

Elon Musk continues to kick himself in his own ass.

 

[threeseed]

It was foretold by many in this community that X was doomed to fail and yet it is somehow still standing.

Twitter is worth $8b according to creditors. It was purchased for $44b.

Sure seems like a failure to me.

just another day with elon the fool

 

[Shirasaki]

Can’t wait to see Elon make Twitter the first major social media platform to be paid user only (including viewing tweets). Not only that, paid platform WITH ads and user needs to pay MORE to REMOVE ads.

 

[Cape Dave]

Why does anybody pay a single dime for any feature on social media? Like subscriptions on Instagram, YouTube, etc.

To get their time and sanity back.

 

[coolfactor]

Getting messy. Screams of desperation. Poor Musky.
