It's really duxking funny to think of other services that cost that much and consider musk thinks a Twitter blue subscription is of equal value.
Also lmao at locking the font for sarcasm behind a paywall.
To a guy like Musk and his friends, $22/mo must feel absolutely trivial. Also, I just don't think they give a shit about the hoi polloi. They've ingested the Andrew Tate "that's poor guy shit!" energy and just assume everyone burns through cash without any real clue how much they're spending. Anyone who can't do that must not be worth cultivating as a subscriber.
That, or they've finally decided to try and squeeze the folks running bot accounts for all their worth.
is this a price increase on what they used to sell for $8, or a new tier?
They have 3 tiers.
Basic: $4.00, longer posts, edit, download videos
"Premium": $11.00, Basic tier features, analytics, allegedly fewer ads, and a blue checkmark(and a function to hide said checkmark)
"Premium+": $22.00, "Premium but allegedly no ads, and "largest reply boost."
lmao so paying them 48 bucks a year doesn't even give a checkmark?
I'm still convinced Elon is trying to purposefully run this into the dirt
Right? Not even some shitty Reddit Silver style hand-drawn checkmark like the ancients used. Insulting
It should be the one where you can't hide the checkmark. It wouldn't entice new users, obviously, but it'd get the existing dumbasses to upgrade
(and a function to hide said checkmark)
Lmaoooooooooooo ok that's why so many of the top comments are shit but don't have checkmarks, they're hiding them.
Or you could download Fluff Busting Purity for 0$ and see 0 ads, ever.
Even a penny paid to Le Epic X is an invitation for more data mining and other intrusive bullshit.
