I am super confused about how they could write that with a straight face.

Like what does "you have to pay us to use this feature" have ANYTHING to do with the flaws that SMS 2FA has? Does paying get you someone to look at every login attempt or something? Otherwise... the blue checkbox kinda paints a target on your back?

I'm guessing it's something like "pay us for the hassle of having to clean up your mess when you end up getting hit". But the reality of it is "please pay for twitter blue. we can't just make the whole site blue only so we'll piecemeal each bit of functionality until we can just make the site paid-for only."

Yeah that's exactly what it is, them desperately trying to find reasons to force people to pay.

This one in particular is just a very odd choice. Pushing people away from SMS 2FA is one thing, but not like this.

I think you missed the point of their comment -- you both agree with each other.

I am referring to the comment the OP is talking about. Updated to make that clear.
