https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/10/twitter-to-relaunch-subscription-service-twitter-blue-monday.html Elon’s fruitful meeting with Tim Cook -great innovation to increase customer subscription to $11 Twitter will relaunch a revamped version of its subscription service Twitter Blue on Monday. The service will allow subscribers to edit tweets, upload 1080p videos and get a blue checkmark post account verification for $8 per month through the web, but for $11 per month through Apple iOS.
Is anyone fucking dumb to pay within twitter app, you can go to chrome/safari to website, it will log you in with faceid and you can pay with card or whatever supported
Pretty sure that’s what Elon’s intentions are. And on the other hand, do you think that some people with Blue ticks like Beyoncé care much about $11 vs $8 a month?
To make this profitable, Elon needs a lot more people than just the Beyonces of the world to subscribe to Twitter Blue and $8 vs $11 might make a bigger difference to them.
hahahahahaha, dude understands how fragile their egos are
How much more fucked up can Elon get ?
It's $8 a month on both apple and Android. The $11 is only available on Apple, which will give you access to beta features
$3 more us fair for the premium experience on Apple.
Apple takes a 30% cut for all payments made through apps. Hence the 3$ markup. Similar to what restaurants do on ubereats/grubhub/doordash
A 30% tax on $8 would be $2.40, so where’s the other 60 cents going? Elon tax.
Isn’t it more like 30 cents under? 30% off 11 = $3.30. $11 - $3.30 = $7.70. So he’s getting 30 cents less than an $8 subscription.
Tim Apple always wins. Also who would possibly pay for Twitter. You get like nothing for that money but a badge of shame.
Tim to Elon: "Money for you, money for me" Muahahaha
Burden for end users 😂
Elon to advertisers: We’re trying to cut you out desperately but don’t leave us, please. Elon to users: Indefinite benefits but trust me bro
