Users that pay $8/month for X Premium still get served ads and have the same ToS for tracking/spying as everybody else, I don't think the $1 crew is going to fair any better

That is the main reason I quit paying for it. X is trying to sit on two chairs and that is just disrespectful of the user.

Yep. The problem is Musk. If the FSF launched a paid social media that required payment to cover sever costs and so it could be completely free of ads and tracking that would be one thing, but how much do you really trust Elon to do that?
