Best way to avoid traffic to your site, then complain about revenue loss from advertisements.
Honestly my wild guess is that he’s trying to make Twitter profitable from subscription based services and not so much from ad revenue.
Can’t really have free speech if platform depends on advertisers and investors.
He doesn't really care about free speech. Just his opinions. (He is shadowbanning Ukrainian accounts btw)
Which accounts?
Perhaps. But a rather large issue arises when your content is generated primarily by users who wouldn't want to pay for a service.
There is also the issue where if you are having to pay to get around interaction limits is it really free speech? Or just limited to those that can afford to pay?
I think these limits were increased to a point where they are not really bad or they were removed. The point of them was to prevent scraping to train AIs
Imagine using Twitter to train AI. "Why is my AI such an asshole!?"
Could be meant more like to influence elections…
