Twitter X is Going to charge Monthly Subscriptions for All. 🐦💸 #Twitter #TwitterBlue
This widely utilized social media behemoth is on the verge of embracing a subscription-based model.

@kuketzblog Das könnte wohl auf Dauer wirklich der Todesstoß für das Netzwerk werden, wenn der Großteil der Leute, die dort nur ihre Freizeit verbringen, nicht bereit ist, auch noch dafür zu bezahlen. Sieht man ja auch gut daran, wie wenige dieser Gruppe bereit waren, für ein #TwitterBlue Abo zu zahlen...

Something I find very funny about #Twitter #X is how offering a paid product to power users is, in itself, probably a decently good idea
But #TwitterBlue #XPremium is a disaster and it's mostly because of catastrophic execution

Another solid piece from Matt Binder regarding Elon Musk's Twitter
Elon Musk's X follower count bloated by millions of new, inactive accounts
Elon Musk is by far the most followed user on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, which he acquired in October of last year. With more than 153 million followers at the time of publication, Musk's account @elonmusk is basically a microcosm of the platform as a whole.
So, who are Musk's followers in relation to the platform? How active are they? How often do they post? Are they consuming a lot of creator content on X? Do they subscribe to Musk's subscription plan, X Premium, formerly known as Twitter Blue? Are Musk's followers real?
Mashable has reviewed new data collected by third-party researcher Travis Brown, who compiled basic account information on all of Musk's more than 153 million followers via a meticulous process that respected X's rate limit parameters.

Get this. For the shitty version of Xpro / Tweetdeck.
To even have multiple accounts on it, EVERY account has to be subscribed to Twitter Blue.
That is scummy as hell. Plus, not everyone who has 10+ accounts can afford to shill out 100 dollars per month for something that SHOULD OF REMAINED FREE.

Is X copying Youtube now? Still, X is still a terrible name, does X Premium mean something more... well naughty?

But you can still identify them if:
- they're using the "edit" feature which marks their "X's" as edited
- their "X's" have more than 280 char
- their "X's" contain bold, italic text
- their videos are in 1080p
- they have a hexagon (NFT) profile picture

Well well well … how do we explain this? I think it’s a membership benefits mistake, but a continuation of the earlier one. Kewl. #Twitter #TwitteRx #Twitterblue
The letter cited #research published by #CCDH in June examining #HateSpeech on #Twitter, which #Musk renamed #X. The research consisted of 8 papers, incl’g 1 that found Twitter had taken no action against 99% of the 100 #TwitterBlue accounts the ctr reported for “tweeting hate.” The letter called the research “false, misleading or both”& said the org had used improper methodology.
The ltr added that the ctr was funded by Twitter’s competitors or foreign govs “in support of an ulterior agenda.”
In light of the new #X branding, and the elimination of all things blue, #TwitterBlue doesn’t make sense as a product name anymore. Sure, it still exists as-is in the app, but that’s just because of #Twitter’s scattershot implementation.

Meta verification or Twitter Blue? Surprisingly, Meta's more expensive & invasive approach might make you reconsider. Threads requires ID submissions, even for changing profile pics, tightly linking you to your account. While Twitter only needs your phone number, providing greater privacy and less censorship. Sometimes, cheaper and simpler is better. #TwitterBlue #MetaVerification #PrivacyConcerns #SocialMediaComparison
"Herbert und Erna haben zwar fuer "X Blue" gezahlt, aber nie Pornos erhalten!"
Ehrlich, ich bekomme mich vor Lachen echt nicht mehr ein..... stellt euch mal vor auf euren Kontoauszuegen steht statt #TwitterBlue nun "X Blue".
Das ist alles nur noch so herrlich 😂
Honestly just waiting for a couple of weeks for #ElonMusk to rebrand #TwitterBlue as Triple X.
Since #ElonMusk owns X.com (which links to nothing right now—although #Google says its dangerous to visit for some reason in #Chrome), I suspect he will change #Twitter’s domain to X, then sell off the Twitter domain later on.
Elon could also make keeping your user handle a feature only available for #TwitterBlue subscribers.

I've seen 412 people on #Twitter #cancel their #TwitterBlue #Subscription today, due to the nee #DmLimit update.
It is incredible. Over on #Twitter they legit slapped even #worse of a #limit on #DM's that you can #send a day. It was at #600 per day which was fine, because that was before #ElonMusk took over the platform. Now? Under him to push to get people to get #TwitterBlue he reduced it to 130 for some, and even lower for some too. God it's amazing to see the idiot destroy Twitter in real time.

You know, while it is on my mind. #ElonMusk and what he has left for a #Twitter team. Is doing one #shitty job at trying to sell #TwitterBlue to people.
1) With the cutting of #Dms and making it #verified only for some users.
2) The #limitations for #Tweeetdeck and how #RateLimits are fucking that over hard. Plus the fact they #removed it from #Legacy instantly after #announcing that Tweetdeck was going to blue exclusively. That is terrible #business and pushes people away. Like me.
And although anyone on #Twitter could have told you that #Twitter has been taken over by bots and propagandists since #ElonMusk took over, the story this week about #TwitterBlue subscribers never having tweets removed even if they were overt #nazi propaganda is also backed up by stories of who the handful of TwitterBlue subscribers are. The #Taliban, #nazis, & #Russian misinformation apparently by and large. #Elon really knows how to choose his friends... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66113460
Eikö siis edes tämä saa jengiä jättämään #Twitter iä?
Että #ElonMusk ottaa hyvillä mielin rahaa #Putin ilta #TwitterBlue n kautta, että #PutininTrollit pääsevät levittämään disinformaatiota ja propagandaa varsinkin #Ukraina n sotaan liittyen.

@freemo @icedquinn @Jain @Stellar @stux Interesting. Yeah right leaning people hate folks too, IMHO the problem becomes when your hatred for someone consumes you so much that you can’t rationally talk about something pertaining to that person. Like I could explain how, for example, #TwitterBlue is a good idea for the platform, but stux probably wouldn’t accept any such argument, most likely because #ElonMusk came up with the idea, and #ElonMusk is bad. That sort of blind hatred is just cringe to me. At the very least, it limits one from having genuine, constructive conversations about certain subjects.
Elon Musk tweets:
To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits:
- Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day
- Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day
- New unverified accounts to 300/day

Again, for about 2 weeks now, the number of these generic Tweets has been increasing dramatically. In some instances you get 4-5 of these threads directly below each other. If you open a thread, all the containing tweets contained are loaded and count against your limit.
If you happen to launch a quota of 600 tweets/day for non-paying users, because you need them to buy #Twitterblue, filling their timelines with this generic bot content seems like the perfect tool to drain their "free" #quota.
#Musk just introduced a "read-limit". #Verified accounts can read 6000 tweets a day, #Unverified can read 600 tweets a day.
Official reason: "measure against data scraping" (I‘ll explain why this is bs below)
Inofficial but actual reason: #Twitter is running out of money and Muk needs to take even more drastic measures to force people to buy #TwitterBlue
🧵Here is why Musks explanation is bs:
So #Twitter just released a new #TwitterBlue feature: you can now write "tweets" up to… 25.000 characters 😵💫
I’m assuming this shitty feature is why Twitter doesn’t show that a tweet is part of thread anymore on the main feed
"You want to tell your audience a story that doesn’t fit in one tweet? Subscribe to Blue, or we won’t help it to get traction on the platform."
The enshittification of the #BirdSite is doing well
1/2
@GreenFire imagine if :activitypub: instance would offer such tiers via :patreon: , #flattr, #kachingle or :paypal: like the "priority queue" on 2b2t.
One thing we've to also account for is that #TwitterBlue and #TwitterGold are the only ways to get #API restrictions lifted, and I'm quite convinced major news outlets like @heiseonline or @ntv got those #GoldBadges for free as they would've likely threatened to quit #Twitter if they can't continue to use their toolchain to post stuff...
#Twitter is working to limit the number of DMs you can send per day before having to sign up for #TwitterBlue 👀
Twitter has a new forked signup flow to get a "Verified subscription".
https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/verified-organizations
So naturally, just like most servives started to copy the #TwitterBlue subscription model, for stupid paid verifications, which failed in similar fashions, i.e., the recent #Gmail fiasco #Reddit has now decided to increase their #API costs and also basically block third-party apps for their services. Just like Twitter.
If only we had a service. Which was free. With API access. Various verification methods. Always-on and free API practices. Multiple apps for many different users and their needs.
Join the blackout on 12th to 14th June on Reddit by rather hanging around here.
Damn.
You'll soon be able to edit your tweets up to five times within an hour of tweeting.
#Twitter is failing to remove 99 percent of #HateSpeech posted by #TwitterBlue users, new research has found, and instead may be boosting paid accounts that spew #racism and #homophobia.
Hilariously scatological analogy from @daringfireball: “The new #algorithm that puts paying #TwitterBlue users’ replies at the top of every thread has ruined political #Twitter. It’s like letting people suffering from incontinence try on all the pants in a store before anyone else.” https://daringfireball.net/linked/2023/05/23/warzel-twitter-rightwing
I want to sponsor someone's #TwitterBlue subscription; the only rule is you can't use it to create content that enriches the value of #Twitter's platform. You can only use it to #troll the #altRight, and/or #billionaires. Anyone interested?
The first fake image of the purported explosion near the Pentagon appears to have been posted by a #QAnon account on #Facebook, which saw little engagement, according to Bloomberg technology reporter Davey Alba. Then it was picked up by #TwitterBlue verified accounts and RT, and exploded online, briefly driving down stock prices. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-05-22/fake-ai-photo-of-pentagon-blast-goes-viral-trips-stocks-briefly

@cstross To the extent that a Blue Check is regarded as an endorsement, this policy may violate the law. You can not advertise that someone endorses your product or service without their consent. There is also the issue of remuneration.
