  ONLY half the ads!!
  • Yizahi 4y ago
    Only half a billion ads instead of a billion. Also conveniently not mentioning any metrics, ad size, length, persistence etc.

    ...but you gotta be grateful for it! (or else...)

  >- Priority in replies, mentions & search He starts off with "Power to the people", but this is just "power to the people with money"(which is the status quo). If you don't have $8/mo disposable income to spend on a vanity feature, then what you have to say will be overshadowed by the people who do.

    He did say it will be scaled by PPP by region, which is interesting. Curious to see how that will play out, if taken literally I should be paying like $3 USD which seems fine to me but is still out of reach of most of my country for logistic reasons rather than outright money reasons.

      That part of the thread pretty much proved that he hasn't thought out this whole scheme at all. He's spitballing in public on twitter

    The status quo is that you need to be a Lord to get the blue check. This makes it available to anyone who is able to get a Netflix subscription. It goes from a status symbol to a commodity. The Lords will hate it because it makes it available to the peasants.

      Not in my experience. I follow plenty of blue tick accounts that aren't lords, merely notable within a niche.

    "You get as much speech as you want to pay for" is probably the single least surprising take from the VC elite.

  So now it's pay to spam?
