How about charging anyone with more than X followers? Or pay to be verified? or pay for support? Supported bot accounts or corporate accounts? There are many options they could pursue. Twitter was not helped having Jack as a part-time CEO for all of those years.

Excellent idea, let's deplatform people by creating lots of bot accounts to follow them so that they have to pay for it!

Verified accounts means it’s somebody well known outside of Twitter. So it’s beneficial to Twitter to have them.
I see today’s Twitter as a chat app where popular people promote their content to less popular. Maybe it would make sense to help populars sell stuff directly and get a cut.
