Twitter has gone way downhill since the Musk takeover. The option they added to subscribe and pay for the blue tick was the start of the slow death, imo. Twitter is now full almost exclusively of trolls and people who like the sounds of their own voices in a huge echo chamber. I very rarely visit X/Twitter anymore, and usually only for work purposes if I do. I definitely won't be giving Elon Musk any of my hard-earned money.

Of course, a lot people are satisfied with Twitter of which I am one them. And takes after the Musk deal. This change has been brought by the introduction of paid services such as getting a blue tick on the app and I see that the kind of feelings I have is what other people have too. I can say that Twitter has become less fun.

Paying for twitter subscriptions by those who makes money there could be understandable. What I don't get is those who use it for fun making payment. Why is it so?

Good for whoever is interested in subscribing for it. Ain't spending no dime on any social media platforms for subscription, unless it is for monetization.

I can't pay for Twitter. I prefer to use it for free with the limitations. I don't earn much from Twitter to warrant me paying for it. I didn't pay when it was $8 and I won't certainly pay with this new price of $22.

I never had an X subscription. I think the new price is too high. What new value are they offering to people that they deem or fit to raise prices. But I know that hundreds of thousands of people would still pay of not millions of people.

Out of curiosity, I subscribed for a month to the premium service, and I was very disappointed by it. I have not bothered with it again despite them constantly nagging at me to subscribe.

Twitter, or should I say X now, as it is known, has gone downhill fast. I barely use it now compared to how I used to because nothing ever gets seen now, paywalls are in the way and even then, that doesn't help at all either. I got more spam follows during the month I checked out the premium side than anything else.
