Today it's been filled with bikini clad females !

I darent look at my phone infront of the family :lol:
Twitter is better than it has ever been right now. The memes and comedy are outstanding. As is the MILF.

Is Twitter the new Tinder? I have heard people say POF and Tinder aren't what they used to be.

Twitter is full of nice looking ladies who like to post pictures of themselves for empowerment or something. I wouldn't dream of approaching any of these women for any reason whatsoever, apart from the odd one or two I know IRL, as you'd get pillioried in a #meetoo pile-on.

I think Instagram is similar - it certainly seems to offer me photos of people who are probably marketing their Onlyfans.

I only use insta to look up tattoo shops these days so my recommendations are all either tattoo artists or alternative models in a state of undress. Can't complain tbh.

Yip. You were right Twitter.

Got to say, Elon seems to be doing something right.
Cheers,

That won't bring back the 1/3rd of his top 100 ad spenders who've not had a jot of ads on there for the last few weeks.

Remember - ad revenue is ~90% of Twitters income.

Edit: A good rant. Not entirely accurate but the enthusiasm is admirable :lol:

In a talk Elon recently gave he said his longer term goal is to specifically move away from ad-based revenue, for the very reason that it's extremely unstable. It looks like he's testing the YouTube or Medium model, where it's free however if you pay a sub then you get a much better experience, including being verified, as well as paying content creators to post.

That's the reason why the $8 works as verification, because you need to pay by credit card, which is one level of verification in itself, which will eliminate or subjugate 99.999% of bots, because no botfarm will pay $8 per bot.

Maybe he should be looking into the suggestions that people in his late night hardcore coding crew felt compelled to be there because they're on work visas and would be deported if they lost their jobs.

You're right that does seem suss, it's not like Elon ever fired someone on twitter for disagreeing with him.

Verification by using a credit card I understand, great. Imagine how few users Twitter would have if everyone had to pay a subscription to use it. It's not Netflix.

So there's a basically stagnant amount of new users (despite it being free and relatively easy for bots to set up massive amounts of users), but now Musk is saying new users will have a limited experience unless they pay $8 a month, and even the existing users will have to pay unless they want to be relegated to 2nd class users.

This seems like a good way of reducing users tbh, but EM is a billionaire and I'm not, so he must be correct.
