Will you be willing to pay for using Twitter?

Elon Musk said he will charge all X/Twitter users a fee to be on the platform. He suggested that such a change would be necessary to deal with the problem of bots on the platform.

“It’s the only way I can think of to combat vast armies of bots," said Elon. I can’t believe that this is the only solution he can think of.

Dealing with bots would be Elon Musk’s responsibility, considering he’s the only one profiting significantly from X, not us. Elon Musk steals our data and censors each of our posts, now he even expects us to pay to clean up the mess he created.

Plus, the problems with X go beyond just bots. The algorithm and programming decisions are negatively impacting user experience and manipulating people’s minds.

We want a town square where everyone is free to have & voice an opinion. I do not believe we have to pay ”a small monthly payment” for such a place, especially in a country that should value these freedoms & suppressing ideas.

WorldWideLem,

The real question is how much would I accept in payment to use Twitter. It’s probably not a lot, but it surely is not negative.

Tygr,

YES, I will absolutely pay for X every month! Greatest idea he’s ever had.

Yes to the polls, but no chance in hell

I hate Musk because as an artist there are many artist on twitter (X) that I really like. One of it is Naoki Saito & Mika Pikazo and then some useful things likes pose maniac to help out artist to get pose ideas. A lot of Japanese makes oneshot or it’s continuous story manga on twitter. The reason why I stay a little longer because of the artist of twitter but now I will slowly drift away on twitter.

Serinus,

They should at least be double posting to Twitter and Mastodon.

You don’t lose reach by posting to more places.

Supermariofan67,

You could check out Misskey, another mastodon-like fediverse app with a large Japanese userbase and lots of artists

Thank you for telling me this and I will try it out.

smileyhead,

For this money I would rather donate, pay for membership or create my own Mastodon instance.

I wouldn't use Twitter even if it was the one paying ME

I would sooner chew on glass than pay for Twitter.

db2,

Hell. No.

Omega_Haxors,

You couldn’t pay me to use that cracker platform. I thought reddit was bad after they fucked over all the moderators, then comes xhitter with open pedo-nazis being boosted to the front page. Both are shit for the same reason and i’m never going back to either.

mojo,

Hell no, and that’s why I love the idea and definitely encourage them to do so.

Lightrider,
sebinspace,

Imgur really has gone to deep shit

cmbabul,

Wasnt Imgur originally made to help reddit? Or am I thinking of something else?

son_named_bort,

The correct answer is no.

He went from saying he was going to build an 'everything app' to charging for something that does nothing and is shit at it.

gregorum,

Lmao
