#ElonMusk at the Barons Investors Forum:

“You’ll have to scroll really far to see unverified users”

Let me translate this for you: If you don’t pay $8 for your checkmark your tweets will be suppressed by an algorithm.

I might be wrong but I have a feeling that this could be the ultimate downfall for #Twitter

@pallenberg That's exactly why I'm here now. The Algorithm was bad enough without having to pay for my tweets to be seen.
@pallenberg Ich als Content-Lieferant soll also an eine Firma Geld bezahlen, damit mein Content "prominenter" platziert wird - und damit diese Firma über die damit verbundenen Werbeeinnahmen zusätzlich Geld einnimmt? 🤔
@JoergA @pallenberg gefühlt ist diese Aussage bekannt von jeder Plattform, bei der man bezahlt, aber in diesem Fall schon einen Wendung der ganzen Plattform-Idee von Twitter
@pallenberg RIP Twitter in weniger als 2 Wochen. Respekt.
@pallenberg “Free speech ain’t free”
@pallenberg the gate keeping of the plutocracy / technocracy : the poor, the marginalized will stay voiceless , powerless: that’s the goal of creatures like Musk, Theil and yes Jack Dorsey in terms of gatekerping financial access through crypto : we need to stay focused on staying free in the digital frontier
@pallenberg
Twitter will end up being only celebs and content creators. And then they'll quit because celebs and content creators need the masses.
@pallenberg Isn't it another way to say: Twitter now costs 8 bucks a month?!
@pallenberg Call me pessimistic, but I believe: people will pay.
@pallenberg someone browsing Tweeter 3 months from now..... okay, the new Batman movie, Nestle ad, Nike shoes, ooo! The new Ford F250 house on wheels for homeless people! I like that! Okay, stranger things the remake! Trump needs five bucks, Ukraine was actually evil and Russia needs donations to keep evil survivors running west to Oklahoma, @NPR needs five bucks, oh hey! There's Joe! Let's see how he's doing! Oh the new Ford fiesta grade! Nice Joe! Nvidia cards, GE fridge, I 💕 Tweeter!
