Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter/X, is floating an idea that he's had before to remedy the problem of social media bots: charging people to use social media.
I don’t know if any social media platform could survive charging even as low as 1 dollar per year. Even if they somehow end up net positive in money, there won’t be enough people using the new platform for it to become the platform most normal people use.
I used it for immediate news during emergencies and also if there’s a big crash in F1 and the cameras won’t show what’s happening until the driver’s confirmed okay.
I hope this will be the final blow to twitter. Ive hated it, even before musk. I dont see the use of such service

I didn’t use it either, but a lot of people did - often for much more important things than what we’re doing here. That’s why he is killing it.

So, like once every three years for a few mins.
It’s good for that.
