Well, they need something to pay the lawyers with once Musk takes notice.
Edit: I’ve just discovered this interesting concept called “reading the article” and found out that they’ve already been sued, though it’s still not entirely settled.
I read it but honestly, probably 80% of the time I do not. Because articles are very often full of pop ups and ads and tracking and paywalls, and are unnecessarily verbose (most can be summarized in 1-2 sentences), and are just republishing someone else’s work while adding nothing, and simultaneously devoid of useful information or any actual sources.
100% can be solved by knowingly making a glaringly obviously false claim about the topic and someone will correct you in a dickish tone while citing the article
They probably need the money to pay for their AI-based “fact-checking”:
A new and notable feature is the automated fact-checking tool, a Gemini-based “veracity engine for real-time analysis” (“Vera” for short), which runs on every tweet.
Using a technology that’s known for making shit up, for fact-checking, is so dumb, but it will probably bring in investors because AI.
Do they expect everything posted to be just news and information that can be fact-checked? Is this AI going to fact-check my opinions and shitposts too?
$20 isn’t just $20 in most countries around the world.
For some it is more than they can make in a month. Tho those people probably never seen the Internet.
Are we sure it’s not mostly still bots on Twitter? I deleted my account back then and have not been back.
At least, not willingly back, since some people still hyperlink to Twitter directly rather than just sharing screenshots of whatever the content was. So you click the text hyperlink thinking it’s to a web article, only for it to bring you to some random string of tweets visibly displayed in the least logical order.
I hope this takes off and people start using “tweet” and “twitter” again and it makes “x” completely irrelevant like his Hitler salute should have
Edit: it cost $20 to join?! I’m out
Shit, that’s twice as much as it used to cost to join Something Awful, and I bet you don’t even get access to furry porno.
I never stopped
No one else did either

What dark magic is this

Some of that can be solved with Firefox and unblock.

The homepage feels like AI slop too.
AI is very good at classification
Every tweet
Poop emoji - this has been fact checked but can not be independently verified due to lack of context
…As a “founder”; we’ll see how long that lasts
but til then at least, I’m out too
Dude reread that post.
“I hope this takes off and makes the Nazi platform irrelevent….but not for $20. I’m okay with Nazis for $20.”
Given that it’s charging an entry fee right now, and is VC backed and corpo controlled…
Probably a fash - or at least neoliberal - app already. The enemy of my enemy is my enemy’s enemy, no more and no less.

I’m poor.
