So congrats to twitter for unsubscribing me from my $3 twitter "blue" plan (only good for tweet edits) which is most definitely not worth the $11 they now laughably charge. You have successfully turned a paying customer into a non paying one. Elon does it again!
@joshuatopolsky Not to mention their recent ban on 3rd party clients šŸ™„
@krakalak all in service of trying to push users to algorithmic feed I'm sure. Sad stuff!
@joshuatopolsky the product strategy of involuntarily unsubscribing paying customers is all ā€œpart of the planā€ to neg users, it’s from the PUA playbook
@joshuatopolsky 4D chess, but make it lose money
@joshuatopolsky you just don't get it. Elon is playing 4D chess - Elon STANs
@joshuatopolsky Some podcast guys called him the most prolific product innovator of our generation, so you're clearly wrong.
Wow! This Man Is Super Wrong But Also Very Loud So Who Knows

In an impressive display of blind confidence, 27-year-old Frank Carlson is currently speaking at length about several subjects he knows absolutely nothing about, and is speaking at such a high volume that people around him are just sort of willing to go along with whatever he’s saying. Upon

@joshuatopolsky @mmasnick before the initial revamp debacle, i had two Blue accounts at two different prices — never sense to me why — sure as hell not going there again since it does not really offer any true benefits worth paying for
@joshuatopolsky At least you didn't pay $12k more for your Model Y only to hear prices had been cut 20%.
@joshuatopolsky and yet you’re still there
@joshuatopolsky @wasootch What's Twitter? šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø
@terrycarter @joshuatopolsky True. Sometimes it's fun to share these stories from the days of old. A reminiscence of time in history.
@joshuatopolsky I happily paid for the beta because I thought the Blue team was working on some cool features, but I really prefer the passive aggressive ā€œmay or may not be notableā€ verification
@joshuatopolsky space Elmo is the most successful entrepreneur in history. Women queue around the block to be impregnated by him.
@joshuatopolsky Only genius level moves from Elon these days LMAO
@joshuatopolsky sorry to hear you even dared to pay $3.
@joshuatopolsky I finally bailed from that dumpster fire once ā€œTwitter 2.0ā€ started forcing me to reset my password several times a day.
@joshuatopolsky @jeffjarvis I’m surprised you are still on the platform. Twitter jumped the shark the second he became the biggest troll on the platform. It goes to show that he isn’t Tony Stark, isn’t that smart at all, no just another entitled brat blood diamond rich kid who got lucky with a couple of investments he made. Just luck, nothing more.
@joshuatopolsky I paid for Blue from its start and was on the $3 plan until I quit a while ago because I couldn’t send Elon even that little bit. I miss it. I’m glad to know it would have been taken anyway.
