Completely wrongheaded. If anything, twitter should be paying anonymous users. Bluechecks are the ones who use twitter to build their personal brand, sell books, etc..

Do you not know who Steven King is? It's certainly easier to google him than to come up with a take like this in response.

Yes I do know who Steven King is. Even famous authors need to spend a lot of money on advertising when they publish a new book, and twitter certainly helps here.
Saying Steven King, one of the most successful authors in the world, needs Twitter to market his books is a such an insane take that it warrants asking if you have any idea what you're talking about imo

Steven King (or his publisher) spend more then $8 per month advertising his books. He might not need twitter, but it's worth more then $8 per month to him.
I honestly don't know what's so hard to understand about this. Do you think apple isn't going to pay $8 per month for a verified twitter account either, since it's already one of the most valuable brands on earth?
