You got it wrong. People who view ads are NOT paying anything. The advertisers are paying.
Pretty sure not a single penny leaves my pocket because of ads.
As I drive down the freeway and look at a billboard, am I paying just by looking at that billboard?
It was a joke that obviously went over your head. The "misspelling" was using a "d" instead of an "s". Get it?
There is nothing premium about X… I think we can forget this one. Anytime I see a link to X I just ignore it.
Yeah Linda yaccarino made that claim during the absolute trainwreck interview so I wouldn’t bank on it.
Twitter would be dead if the core base of journalists and tech reporters grew a spine and actually went elsewhere. Instead they moan about it but then claim they need to be on it to
Actually, you could in a sense be being "paid" to view ads. If a service costs $9/month without ads and $5/month with ads, the person going with the cheaper ads plan is being "paid" $4/month (via the subscription “discount”) to view ads.
Except you are being "paid" in "value", not cash. If the site becomes of less value to you then your payment goes down.
Dude, just shut it down. You've already killed it, so just get it over with.
That would be perfect for Musk.
Internet says he have 11 kids with 3 different women. Assuming it won't stop with that.
That sounds like an airline boarding scheme... Now boarding Premium Basic Plus passengers... Now boarding Premium Basic passengers who need assistance....
One of my community notes on a Twitter ad claiming to be "free" when it was only a 2-day trial got over half a million views. Haha
The person you replied to didn’t say Elon started all those companies. He didn’t invent all the tech either. They said he knows business and that appears true. X might be first truly great failure.
is only dead until other social media platforms start doing it as well. Youtube was free at some point and look where we are now
So are half ads chopped horizontally or vertically, and which half do they show you?
YouTube is still free at the point of use. There are premium options but crucially they ADD value. So far there is nothing in Twitter/X Blue/Premium that adds enough value to be worth subscribing to. On the contrary, the changes to the algorithm boosting "reply guys" to the top of popular Tweets/Posts have actually made the website even less appealing than it was before.
