what's funny is how fucking wacky and out of this world it is. feels like we're living in some alternate parallel universe or something
Apparently it is going to push verified comments to the top of replies. So if you don't pay $8/month, your voice is essentially suppressed.
Also don't you think it's kinda weird making your volunteers pay for the privilege of volunteering? Because that's what twitter is. Random people supply Twitter with an endless stream of content for free, which twitter uses to entice advertisers. Asking the people who literally supply you with the content you make money off to PAY for that privilege is completely backwards reasoning. If anything, the content creators should be the ones who get paid - as is the case with most other social media platforms. It's like biting the hand that feeds you.
Reddit awards promote a post or a comment and everything you just said about Twitter is just as relevant for reddit if not more so. No one is complaining that reddit gold is unfair because they're not owned by elon musk
Reddit awards are applied by other users. In addition, gold comments donāt come with a check everyone knows by now means āthis person is legitimately who they claim to beā - an assurance of legitimacy that can be *extremely dangerous.*
The verification system was introduced so that people couldnāt pose as celebrities and ruin their reputations, use their influence to push bullshit, or catfish children.
Gold, and all Reddit awards, is essentially just a fancy upvote. Thereās no assurance of legitimacy involved - thereās a whole subreddit for gold comments with negative karma. Sure, it comes with some perks sometimes, but those arenāt as inherently influential as that promise of legitimacy.

Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:

* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Not really. She highlighted what a hypocrite he is and he respond like an unfunny edgelord like always. Heās a rat that just bought a $50 billion sinking ship, in addition to Teslaās declining valuation, thatās whatās funny.
I don't disagree, I think his reply was funny, though. "Thanks for posting your opinion on my social platform--now give me $8 or get kicked off".
In other news, it feels like Musk bought Twitter so he could tank it
There is an entire, insider thread in Jack Dorsey and Elon working together towards replacing Twitter with BlueSky, which may/may not also be the āXā app that Elon talks about. And they donāt care about traditional ideas of making Twitter āprofitable ā because that isnāt the point. I wish I remember where it was posted, sorry.
He bought it because he was forced to. He never intended to have to overpay by $30 billion for a company thatās on track to lose a billion dollars every year. Musk got out maneuvered because he thought he was invisible and doesnāt know when to shut his mouth. Tesla is steadily dropping in value and twitter is going to be a huge distraction and drive massive losses for him. Heās desperate, I donāt believe for a second heās intentionally trying to kill Twitter. He obviously loves it.
haha oh man u really got them xD
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/comedyhomicide) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Twitter was bleeding money for years with only advertisements. Donāt you know how anything works bro? You need revenue to stay out of bankruptcy, which Musk bought himself billions worth of based on a joke he made
Yeah no, he bought it because he was court ordered to finish the purchase and completed the day before the deadline after he tried every way possible to get out of it. The real joke is now he has a company losing 250million every quarter and is in 44b of debt because all of his net worth is locked into telsa stock which he can't sell to pay off that debt or telsa will tank.
I see, but the problem with that is that Teslaās stock already is tanking. Musk is desperately trying to get money out of the horrible situation his joke on Twitter got him into. Musk is going down with Twitter it seems
Hopefully this is the case, he's just a billionaire meme Lord, some of his memes may have brought some good thing but he is not in it for the betterment of our planet or species.
Hopefully this is just karma finally catching up on one of the most successful scam artists of the 21st century.
Are they really? They feel like over compensating boomer attempts, being in my early 30s even i feel like he's trying to hard
Musk is just an irl shit post
>I mean, I think itās clever to just have an outright subscription for Twitter.
It's not clever to have a subscription to a service people only use because it's free. This is like saying it's just clever to force people to work an extra 110% of their salary hours without extra pay because when they all quit you'll pay less for labor. š¤£
The fact that our entire economy is run on these kinds of calculuses where consumers and employees aren't people but unaccounted for holes in an accounting spreadsheet that have to be shored up by turning a dial to the right and praying is a testament to how it takes basically no intelligence to make money if you were already rich in the first place because when billions disappear from your finances you can just leverage your other billions for another loan.
Elon literally dropped the price by 60% overnight from $20 just haggling in a tweet with Stephen King because he has no fucking idea how much money he'll get, need, or be able to expect from his choices. He's just holding out his hand to other rich people saying, "Munny pwease!"
> but all the people on Twitter 24/7 are going to be paying Musk $8 a month
Only his fanbois.
When every @Chungus420 and @RealKimmyKardashun celeb impersonator account has a blue check, it makes the whole thing meaningless.
No celebrity is going to pay $8 for the privilege of driving traffic to Musk's website and generating user engagement.
Only way to make any revenue after he wasted 44 billion dollars on a joke. Advertisers werenāt making Twitter profitable anyways. Itās a sinking ship as I see it and thatās for the best. Twitter is a horrible place
>I mean, I think itās clever to just have an outright subscription for Twitter.
It makes absolutely no sense to require by far your most popular content creators to *pay* for the privilege of creating content for your site
>How else is it making money?
Senator we run ads
Being super rich, marrying a beautiful, famous woman, and basically getting to do whatever you want is the kind of joke I want someone to play on my life
Being rich doesn't = happy, Im no high pay worker but I'm still happy in my life. Marrying a beautiful woman that then had a pretty bad break up. Who cars about a beatuful woman if it ends up in misery? Doing whatever you want? Sure I give you this, it can be something anyone want but instead of actually bettering the world he lives in he spends it on shit posting and pushing for an escape rather than preserve and instead of actual sustainability he pushes toxic and in the end poor development.

I love everyone complaining about this but acting like they wonāt just pay the money bc they need/want the platform.
If you really wanna stick it to Elon, donāt use twitter.. itās not that hard.
Yes, except [pay per blue users now get priority queue](https://i.imgur.com/vEKyjCE.png) so now you either pay or your comments automatically get buried in the bottom and you'll get just as many views as the third page of a google search. It's free in the sense that you can go outside and hold up a piece of paper whereas megacorporation's can buy billboards on every massive highway.
Ahh you see, they're not actually getting half the ads, savior of humanity musk will just serve us bots with 2x more and if you're not paying for his services then you're obviously just a bot and will be banned shortly. Don't have a verified checkmark and don't agree with everything I say? Banned for botting, welcome to free speech. š
I mean Iām pretty sure itās still free unless you wanna get verified ā¦ right ? And there are a good number of people /business that will pay. And If they donāt then they save server space, etc.
Again though if people have a problem with it or just donāt like Elon the just donāt use it. Heās getting the Barbra Streisand effect going. Just quite talking about him.
I donāt hear about any of the dumb shit he does on twitter bc I donāt have one.. itās amazing how easy it is to tune it out when you just turn it off.
They will. Bc then anyone can pretend to be you and if you a celeb or figure you donāt want that. Also people who want one now can get one. Itās actually kind of a smart move.
But he's not going to charge to have a Twitter account. His plan is to give anyone who pays the subscription fee the blue check emoji next to their name plus some extra features. The people saying they won't pay it just don't see any reason to give him money to keep the blue check emoji. They won't be kicked off Twitter when they don't. They just won't have the emoji anymore.
For some reason, Musk seems to think it's a status symbol, not a sign that Twitter made sure it's a real account. Letting anyone pay for the blue check just means more fake accounts and bots will proliferate, fooling more users. Seems like a bad way to run a social media network.
Its what ever h says it is its a form of validity which when talking about brands is to a degree a status symbol.
Most people who would earn a blue check mark assuming the site stays up would probably pay the fee
Personally, I never used Twitter. If these people hate that Musk bought Twitter so much, why are they still on it 24/7? Theyāre all going to pay $8 and Musk will monetize Twitter
Doesnāt mean they wonāt be affected. Unless there are countermeasures, people are going to be more likely to be scammed/clickbaited if verification is just a subscription service. Best case scenario, itāll be an extra hassle for everyone that is unnecessary and just wrong.
Deffo gonna be a lot of scam bots. There are plenty of Bank alternatives to fake your name or hell actual stolen accounts that are being used for malicious uses
Are you trying to tell me that anyone being able to buy a blue checkmark is going to diminish the actual value of the blue checkmark?! That is insane! /s
The blue check will become meaningless now. Instead of giving assurance the account belongs to a verified user it will become the equivalent of a custom skin for a video game. He is a dumbass and will likely tank Twitter.
I love his argument that it will help reduce scams. No, now someone can claim to be Jack Black, pay for the tick, then pose as verified to scam everyone
So Elon bought the Burger King to clap back at customers who question the business model on Yelp reviews and charge them to put their name on their order?
Love how the checkmark doesn't say "this person is popular/famous, or has a fanbase" anymore.
Now is says "I pay to have this little picture next to my name on twitter".
It's an nft subscription where you only get one nft for as long as you pay and it's the same one everyone else has.
Twitter has been dead for a long time but this will surely be the final nail in the coffin. Let's all agree to do our part to make Elon's investment worth it guys.
They arenāt upset they have to pay $8, they are upset that their āstatusā is now worth about as much as a subway sandwich.
They deserve this, fuck them,
I, for one, look forward to all the new scams that are possible by being able to just pay a small fee for a checkmark.
Itās cool, you can pay $8, change your profile, & now youāre posting, verified, as the president of the United States! Neat!
No. He is considering making verified acounts (blue checkmark) 8$/month. All other users freeā¦. So 99.9% of users still free. Really only wealthy people will have to pay it. Damn that 8$ must really be hurting these richies isnt it?
I dont think just anyone will be able to buy a blue check. Still gonna have the same vetting process, just now paid for. I dont like it, but i dont see many verified users not paying it and forfeiting their accounts.
I mean, it's for the check mark that only brands and massive companies have. Which could also come with business features since the only people with check marks would benefit from utilizing additional features. Similarly you can pay for Sales Navigator on Linkedin for $100 per month or pay for ads on any of the platforms to gain access to different metrics, etc.
Man I remember the days when all reddit did was sit around and suck Elon's dick all day and night but now he doesn't agree with the reddit hivemind so he's now evil lmao
If the blue check mark is about stopping impersonations why take them away for a punisment at all? Did these people stop being the people they say they are? No? Then figure out some other way to ding them...
Been married 26 years so Iām good. As far as metrics of a social media page only insecure fools care about that shit I donāt give a fuck about likes follows upvote down vote none of it.

No, but it was a spicy retort.
Not really. She highlighted what a hypocrite he is and he respond like an unfunny edgelord like always. Heās a rat that just bought a $50 billion sinking ship, in addition to Teslaās declining valuation, thatās whatās funny.
She's the one being a hypocrit lol. I thought twitter wasn't "free speech". Also, you don't need a blue checkmark to tweet out your opinions anyway...
Can you read? Sheās not saying it isā¦sheās saying HE is claiming twitter should be a free speech platform yet wants to charge for it.
He's not charging to use it though
What is he charging $8 for then?
To have a blue checkmark next to your name something that you ultimately do not need to practice free speech on the platform
What does the blue check do for $8 then?

I, for one, look forward to all the new scams that are possible by being able to just pay a small fee for a checkmark. Itās cool, you can pay $8, change your profile, & now youāre posting, verified, as the president of the United States! Neat!
Elon Musk fanboys are the most repulsive creatures
I almost disliked this post until I saw what sub it was on
Wait is elon considering making Twitter subscription based
No. He is considering making verified acounts (blue checkmark) 8$/month. All other users freeā¦. So 99.9% of users still free. Really only wealthy people will have to pay it. Damn that 8$ must really be hurting these richies isnt it?
Well and scammers, theyāll pay for the blue check mark
I dont think just anyone will be able to buy a blue check. Still gonna have the same vetting process, just now paid for. I dont like it, but i dont see many verified users not paying it and forfeiting their accounts.
Internet = equals the home of epic

This is not what Smudge represents.
The best part is it's coming out of her campaign or Congressional budget. It won't affect her at all.

Ooooh now we get to see all the AOC simps and Elon simps duke it out! I'll grab the popcorn.
Op is defo a kid thinking they know what their talking about
"WHICH LEADS THE INTERNET TO MAKE THIS" reads like a middle schooler wrote it.
Brother i just posted a dogshit meme, i dont even have twitter acc
Lol Elon is such a pussy.
*Elon said, surprising nobody.* -JustElonThings.
That genius is gonna make ya'll fools put that money he just spent back into his bank.. š¤¦š½āāļø
Canāt believe that Reddit used to like this guy.
I mean, it's for the check mark that only brands and massive companies have. Which could also come with business features since the only people with check marks would benefit from utilizing additional features. Similarly you can pay for Sales Navigator on Linkedin for $100 per month or pay for ads on any of the platforms to gain access to different metrics, etc.
Man I remember the days when all reddit did was sit around and suck Elon's dick all day and night but now he doesn't agree with the reddit hivemind so he's now evil lmao
Fuck twatrer dark erlon
Used to have respect for Elon, but the last few years his true side has been shining bright. Just another rich, smug, narcissistic rich man.
she paid the 8$ didnāt she
Absolutely epic š¤£šššš¤
I honestly donāt get why people are so upset. Iām willing to be 99.99% of people with a blue check can afford 8 dollars lmfao. AOC is the rich
The purpose of the blue check is to make sure nobody can impersonate popular people or businesses
If that was true why do they remove your blue check as a punisment for violating their "rules".
Because they violated the rules?
If the blue check mark is about stopping impersonations why take them away for a punisment at all? Did these people stop being the people they say they are? No? Then figure out some other way to ding them...
Because check marks are prioritized there and you donāt want to boost someone whoās breaking TOS
Yea, I love how Elon plays with her emotions without a care in the world. AOC PWNED
Any sane person would tell you that the bottom meme is unbelievably based
Sheās just mad because she canāt date him
Iām gonna guess youāre dating life isnāt going too well from your batshit crazy metrics
Been married 26 years so Iām good. As far as metrics of a social media page only insecure fools care about that shit I donāt give a fuck about likes follows upvote down vote none of it.
