> the humiliation of considering paying for Twitter to scroll my addiction is giving me a smidge of empathy for the bros who pay for sex

I think this is a really important point for Twitter's business.

Many users know, subconsciously or consciously, that they use Twitter too much or in an unhealthy way. Explicity paying for it would make the problem feel real.

I personally went through this conundrum with Discord, and had to delete the apps.

And I think Elon is oblivious to this issue because he is a oblivious Twitter addict.

What were you using Discord for? Were you using it for more than personal voice chat with friends?

Yeah, I am in dozens of discords for game mods, tv shows, github projects, niche technical topics and so on.

Even with notifications disabled, the draw to check up ob Discord and then start shooting the breeze is strong... Its very engaging, but inefficient and rarely productive
