They think that is some big hit to their wallet??? How do they think normal people feel when their food price goes up $8 a week! And these are the people you idolize bc you think they are standing up for some principal. NO they aren't.
And smarter people see this coming to other platforms. It will happen. And I don't blame companies for doing this.
You don’t seem all that familiar with the topic. Other platforms share advertising revenue with the creators who provide content. And guess what, charging a corporation or celebrity to be associated with the vile rantings of racists and antisemites. But charging monthly for the “prestige” of a blue check is not just silly. It’s dumb. Advertisers are the customers of social media and Musk couldn’t be bothered to do any outreach before firing his content moderation team and floating this idea. He, like any fragile edgelord, is monumentally bad at actually running a business.
