Wayland is better anyway.

"What do you have to say to your advertisers?"

'go fuck yourselves'

'also we're raising prices for an unrelated reason'

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 36 points 2 days ago

"There's kind of a lot of people leaving X lately. How do you intend to reinvigorate the user base?"

'this calls for a price increase'

How about I pay zero dollars to continue never using that shithole.

Not asking, fuck you Elon.

[-] hperrin@lemmy.ca 64 points 2 days ago

I feel like the people who pay for Twitter are probably dumb enough to pay whatever price the muskrat wants, so why not make it $200 a month?

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago

Then there's me.

"Twitter had a premium service??? What the hell would it even do??? I thought they abandoned the blue check mark thing."

[-] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

so why not make it $200 a month?

Why not make it $200 a week?

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 days ago

What the fuck is a "premium" X?

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 days ago

Premium X is sparkling diarrhea, only produced by the finest assholes on the internet.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 17 points 2 days ago

Who is stupid enough to be paying for that shit? Or is this premium+ what bot accounts need to reach the masses like elon's shit takes?

[-] Naich@lemmings.world 28 points 2 days ago

All that free speech ain't free, you know.

[-] Free_Opinions@feddit.uk 0 points 2 days ago

It is if you don't buy premium.

[-] 3aqn5k6ryk@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

Kek. “adjusting” the prices to support the experience it offers. What experiences you dumbfuck.

[-] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago

The non-bot accounts are leaving the platform, what should we do?

Quick, milk the rubes!

[-] Zier@fedia.io 15 points 2 days ago

So if you add 10 million more bots @ $22/a month that's a lot of money laundering.

[-] 46_and_2@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

This seems like the most likely intended consequence to me. They probably know their userbase well, and actual humans declining aren't gonna be swayed to stay by a price hike. Those bots, on the other hand...

[-] Greg@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 days ago

Those bots are not going to be happy

[-] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

They should jack it up by 100%

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 6 points 2 days ago

It doesn’t have to be competitive any more than the room rates at the Trump Hotel in DC.

  1. Elon wants more money
  2. Elon wants X to be profitable now
  3. He wants to destroy X so Bluesky can take the throne
  4. He wants Truth Socia to be profitable
[-] TacoSocks@infosec.pub 2 points 2 days ago

It's #1, always #1.

[-] ohlaph@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

It's premium prices.

[-] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 days ago

Oh Elon, are you planning on doing the TikTok treatment on Bluesky next?
