If you don't pay, replies will be suppressed. Free speech though, right?

$96 a year is nothing, why would anyone whinge about that?

Bear in mind that Twitter sucks, so people who care enough about their "social standing" on that hellhole to pay even 8p a year are basically branding IDIOT on their own forehead.

No idea what on Earth you are all talking about … but if he starts charging for different things surely people will leave in their droves .

I will not be paying a dime / cent / penny

You do not have to Pay
it is easy to understand.

Like there is a Twitter Professional
Already there which means you can
Fast Re-Tweet someone.

Example
https://twitter.com/OwenJones84

His account is Verified as UK Owen Jones,

Left Winger (that's how I describe him)
he has a Tick.
So He will pay the $8 a month to keep it
or the Guardian will etc

It does not
who you know on Twitter
helps you.

If you find a hellhole
Unfollow those freaks.


This Blur Tick
regard it as a Twitter Professional extension.

Elon Musk doing monetization over something that should be free.

Like a typical corporate businessman.

And the bar was very low for a blue tick, there were all sorts of crackpots with very few followers with it

He'd be better off getting rid altogether

Require everyone to use their real name and verify their identity on sign-up. No need for blue ticks, no fake accounts, no bots, far less trolling.

To sign up as a company or organisation, make it that the email address has to be @ the official site.

I'm not generally a fan of the idea of verified ID being required for everything but the initial idea behind Twitter was that people would use their real name and photo... it was never intended to be an anonymous trolling platform but that's what it increasingly is becoming.
