Twitter Blue for $8/Month

Take a look at Linkedin, they make tonnes of revenue from premium features. The problem is that Twitter suddenly deciding that it's going to create a brand new revenue stream by charging for features that don't exist is about as sane a strategy as me deciding I'm going to start developing gills before my next swimming lesson.

Linkedin has the CVs -- the content i ve seen there is laughable. Twitter can be compared to Wordpress, in which people invest time in making an online presence and following. But it seems easy for them to leave twitter and take their audience too - and many people do it with substack etc. I think introducing payments will change the dynamics of their crowd, which is basically a mob.

The thing with LinkedIn is that I could see paying for it, because you could make a connection with actual monetary value (The ability to get a job at a higher salary).
