Someone here said that #X will slowly increase the cost of membership through increasingly convoluted tiers because of unwillingness of advertisers to advertise through their platform.
Months later we are already seeing this now where they’re removing ads for higher paying subscriptions, and leaving them for lower paying.
I also suspect they will slowly increase identity validation measures in the name of decreasing spam. A lot of people I follow have made their comments subscriber only, in the same futile attempt against spam, and it’s devastated my interest in their content and the X platform.
If I’m going to pay for content I won’t do it with fiat, I won’t do it associated to my real identity, and I won’t do it on a centralized platform where content creators walk on egg shells.
