Anybody who thinks there is such a thing as "Undo" or "Delete" on the internet is living in a fantasy land.
It's not really "Undo", so in this case there is. It's just "don't post it for 30 seconds so you can change your mind in the meantime", a la Gmail etc.

I would actually not mind this especially if part of the package is weeding out the trolls and bots, and if they'd stop selling information to advertisers and blocking ads. A filter to only show tweets from subscribers could do the trick. Would be an interesting experiment at least. All the big accounts would obviously be subscribers, and it would also quickly make it unattractive to pay just to troll or spam.

The best way for Twitter to make this popular is to promises better reach to paid users, because that is inherently valuable to many.

So you'd be willing to pay for an echo chamber? Sounds fun.
 
Yes, very interesting ! 🤨...I would even pay 10-12 a year to have NO Ads, too many blocked accounts already. But 3 $ a month for that...good luck

Offering at the highest tier aka “customer is always right” tier: we won’t delete your tweet or stop you from tweeting no matter how much hate you peddle or violence you incite.
 


Twitter has been working on some kind of subscription service since last summer, and Jane Manchun Wong, who often digs into new features coming in apps, has shared details on just what Twitter is exploring.

Twitter's subscription service could be called Twitter Blue, and at the current time, it's priced at $2.99 per month. There will be a "Collections" section that allows users to save and organize their favorite tweets to make them easier to find at a later date.


It will also include an "Undo Tweets" feature, which will give customers a short time to "Undo" a tweet that has a mistake before it's actually posted on the social network. The Tweet Undo period looks to be customizable, so users can set their preferred interval.


Users will also be able to select where the Undo Tweet feature will be applied, with options that include original tweets, replies, tweetstorms, and quote tweets.

Wong says that Twitter is working on a tiered subscription pricing model, so one tier could have more paid features than another.


Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said last July that Twitter would set a "really high bar" for when Twitter would ask customers to "pay for aspects of Twitter."

There is no word on when Twitter's subscription functionality could roll out, nor what it will cost when it launches. Pricing and feature set could change because the subscription option is still in testing.

Sorry Hipster Rasputin, I mean Jack, you may kindly shove your little blue bird. I believe in free speech, and am capable of filtering the dweebs on my own. Your platform is pathetic, and you in particular.

I think the only reason I have to pay twitter or facebook is if they are legal fees to put Doresy or Zuckerberg in jail for the rest of their pathetic lives.
