if the employees building it don’t meet their deadline, they’ll be fired by Elon Musk https://www.theverge.com/2022/10/30/23431931/twitter-paid-verification-elon-musk-blue-monthly-subscription
"I want free speech, important for our civilization", now pay me 20$ for my 54$ per share purchase
How does this impact free speech. Not really making any sense.
Hey Joe, our platform support free speech, you can say whatever hell you want. But if you want others to know your tweet is actually from you, pay me 20$/month
This is actually accurate. Dudes a psycho.
I think everyone knows that. He’s knocking up everyone. Hide yo wife
In the gutter @Plaid
Wasn't the blue checkmark something free to popular users? Bit cheeky to require them to now pay for something that was provided previously. Also weird to think you'll be able to buy the checkmark now. I feel that'll devalue the status of it. Can't wait for the first scam done by a "blue checkmark" user that paid $20 and people inherently trusting them.
To your first point, I believe the play is to monetize the users who use the app the most and get the most benefit out of it, because they are likeliest type of users to pay. To your second point, I believe the article suggests that the checkmark won’t be able to be bought. It’s still awarded via merit. That said it will cost an additional subscription fee from now in order to retain.
He likes the idea of breaking up that elitism and allowing anyone who can pay to play. Man has such a chip on his shoulder.
Thank God. Existing verification mechanism is dumb and twitter hasn't built any significant new features in the last 10 years.
Lol by Nov 7 😂😂😂
Twitter developers going to be working more hours this week than they have the past 10 months.
More like they will quit and Twitter will turn into a money-hole with tier 4 devs.
Lmao 7 days. That man is a clown. Fuck Elon.
Exciting
I feel for the Twitter engineers now subject to this regime. Hopefully they find something better soon.
Do nothing and get the severance then. Elon: The severance will be 1 week of base pay plus an Uber trip back home. Let's sue Elon and put him in the jail then.
