    20 quid says he was kinda banking on people being tragic enough to buy a blue tick

      Not even buying, but renting a blue check. And apparently over 20% of twitter users would do that.

        The strategy should be maximal support for the most ridiculous of the monetization ideas, then not paying for anything. Can I hear $25/mo?

        He is the entire marketing team. And he got an insane amount of free press from the liberal media. Over the last ~15 years, he probably got billions of $$$ in free marketing.

      I think this is the actual play here. There's about 32 million small businesses in the USA. if only 1% of them get verified for $10 a month for 12 months, that's $38,400,000 a year. Add in a "Narwhal Bacon" tier for 30 and he could clear 100 mil/year for it. Marketing budgets are just ongoing sacrifices to Mammon anyway, so he could milk the shit out of it.

      Make brands pay for advertising

      allow myspace effects on user pages if they pay for it (snow, rainfall, background), make them one time only purchase like seasonal skins in games

      Done, you’ve saved the insolvable bird

    If I ever become super rich I'm giving my lawyer a taser and an express legal written requirement to tase the living shit out of me if I act like this.
