Another
day, another Elon Musk rumour. This time it’s about plans to charge people to
use Twitter (which no-one will ever call X).
From a business
point of view, this is nuts. He should know that most of his user base are
hanging on by a thread, under sufferance, and we’ll all be gone if that happens. It’ll probably
turn out to be another attention-seeking item like the notion of removing the
block function (which turned out to be illegal).
It’s weird,
because for years I’ve been saying I’d be happy to pay if it meant no ads. Why?
Because I valued Twitter.
Looking at it now, you might be wondering why.
