Soon to be more annoying because Elon has started harping about putting all of twitter behind a paywall for everyone. (Obviously cash flow aint looking good) haha
A shame, this will surely tank it. I can't imagine paying unless they also introduced guaranteed privacy (like Mastodon's data permission list - empty!) on their mobile apps. Fat chance.
I'm not sure where to go as an alternative; Mastodon doesn't have the same community or blend of personalities and viewpoints as Twitter. Ah well.
I’m sure getting advertisers a better ROI is the goal. I’m glad someone is doing something about the bots. Jack et all didn’t give two shits and lied to investors and advertisers. This is a welcome change.
If you want a platform full of bots, build your own. Simple as.
Example: You pay for a vehicle and they take all of your vehicle data and resell it. Uber as another, you pay for the ride yet get ads on your journey. There are many more examples.
Just be honest about your bias against X and Elon.
Not at all, my current motor doesn't take any data from me and connects to nothing. I don't use Uber. I avoid data collection when I can.
I'm not 'biased' against Mr. Musk, I think he has many impressive accomplishments under his belt. I just won't blindly praise everything he does. I wish his 'anti-establishment' senses would make him more anti-bulk collection, it seems inconsistent to me.
