          soon WhatsApp will bring news and blog tab in its app
          so everyone will throw Twitter to trash....
          it's upon u to choose which app u need and which is not.
          Twitter is no use for me...

            They've harvested all the user data they needed for free and now it's time to pay by the very own users who didn't have to use this "tweet service" in the first place.

And I am glad that it finally doesn't censor political speech, so as someone who values living in a democracy, its value is exponentially higher to me.

                            hmm, 11 May 2023The complaining about subscription where people are willing... moreYes. That’s EXACTLY right. You know why?

                            Because people find more value in those streaming services and that cup of coffee than they do twitter’s silly subscription.

                              Twitter Is just a waste tool.....
                              nothing useful...
                              better to have a premium reddit.
                              waste of money on blue badge
                              no use at all....
                              just waste of time, waste of money, waste of energy...


                                hmm, 11 May 2023The complaining about subscription where people are willing... moreYou're saying all social media sites will have this due to 'need to make a profit', then go on to say there will be other apps for DMs which by that logic will soon need to charge for.. *check notes* ..secure communication... It's a lil odd to be like "no complain because streaming subscriptions and coffee" while simultaneously being concerned about social media company (notoriously poor companies I hear) profits - especially when the topic is just.. paywalled encrypted messaging..

                                Dang, those streaming services are an incredible deal when put that way. So gracious of them to store my account info so I can give em money. Maybe if I pay $2/month extra they wont store my password in plaintext!

                                  The complaining about subscription where people are willing to sub to 5 different streaming service and pay 5 bucks for coffee.
                                  All social media sites now will have this subscription as these sites need to make profit to exist. Never mind that it's not mandatory to pay for it and you probably use some other app for DM's anyway

                                    The question is, who would like to pay to send encrypted DMs over Twitter

                                      He could have put $44 Billions on his SpaceX and Tesla, since Chinese BYD and NIO are rapidly closing in on Tesla in China, and their other chinese extensions Volvo, Polestar and MG are making great sakes numbers in Europe

                                        You have to pay to have a basic must have security feature every messaging service should have by default? What a joke
