the article says the $11M doesn't include web subscriptions, which is what twitter seems to be steering everyone toward by making the app store prices higher. who knows how effective that really is, though, since i doubt anyone buying an elon subscription is terribly price sensitive.

The web subs could be double the $11m revenue and it'll be a drop in the bucket compared with the lost revenue from ads. And this is the income stream Elon wants going forward.

Elon...might not be very good at business!

Apparently this is working. A buddy of my mine, who is quite lefty, lied with that reason and got his perma-banned account back in no time

It is pretty funny that there's basically nothing you can point to that visionary Elon Musk has announced or imposed since buying Twitter that is objectively a good or positive thing for it. Every idea either misses the point, is implemented haphazardly (or just promisd), or betrays the fact he doesn't understand the platform at all.

Also that he fundamentally doesn't get that cluttering the gently caress out of the user interface with vanity stats is a detriment

I'm confused, I thought a month or two ago, Musk announced that he had unbanned all previously banned accounts to wipe the slate clean and give people a second chance or some such bullshit. That's why all those Nazi accounts got unbanned.

I guess it was back in November, but he held a poll asking if he should unban everyone. He said they would unban all amounts that hadn't broken the law or done egregious spamming

You see, but you do not observe.

The Covid misinformation going on in Twitter is just criminal, it's gotta be

Just saw some "New Zealand Doctors Association" account (some name official sounding name) with a Blue Checkmark (very trustworthy) and it's just "Vaccines are the real killers! More teens died from vaccines than Covid!" tweets

But, like, a LOT of misinformation. If I search for Covid on Twitter it's practically all chud anti vax bullshit with a clear agenda. All the top results are like

quote:

COVID VACCINE INJURIES DOT COM (blue checkmark) says this super healthy 40 year old DIED from the Moderna Vaccine in 24 HOURS!!!!!111

Lots of videos starring this guy. A very sensibly dressed and professional looking man, probably telling the truth, hmm yes

Remember when someone bought a checkmark and crashed Eli Lilly's stock by impersonating the company and tweeting they would make insulin free?

That was awesome and I can't wait for the huge number of scams and corporate sabotage this will lead to.

It didn't crash it there was like a 3% dip like happens every second day
