Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is bullshit.

Power to the people! Blue for $8/month.

This will also give Twitter a revenue stream to reward content creators

There will be a secondary tag below the name for someone who is a public figure, which is already the case for politicians

To all complainers, please continue complaining, but it will cost $8

Twitter speaks to the inner masochist in all of us

Twitter is simply the most interesting place on the Internet. That’s why you’re reading this tweet right now.

🤔

Because it consists of billions of bidirectional interactions per day, Twitter can be thought of as a collective, cybernetic super-intelligence

… with a lot of room for improvement

Tiny talk is talk so small it feels like it’s coming from your own mind

Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists.

Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.

Again, to be crystal clear, Twitter’s strong commitment to content moderation remains absolutely unchanged.

In fact, we have actually seen hateful speech at times this week decline *below* our prior norms, contrary to what you may read in the press.

Regarding Twitter’s reduction in force, unfortunately there is no choice when the company is losing over $4M/day.

Everyone exited was offered 3 months of severance, which is 50% more than legally required.

⚡️⚡️⚡️ Power to the People ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Trash me all day, but it’ll cost $8
