They don't care about meeting an audience, that's not the reason they use twitter; they create content for fun and for people who are interested to seek it out.

If you offered them a flat "we'll force 10,000 people to see your tweets specifically for just $5" they still wouldn't take it because that's not what they care about or what they are trying to do.

They are users of twitter just as much as they are creators and having their timeline flooded with the kind of content the new bluecheck users create has clearly given them a far worse experience, because the kind of people that would generally pay for the benefits your ascribe are generally the kind of people that these users don't care to interact with at all.

Justin Bieber has over 100M followers, and tweets nothing but announcements. He's advertising. For free.

The idea that celebrities don't care about the audience they are reaching is utterly detached with reality.
