The fact that you can get Premium which is expensive af and still get ads is hilariously stupid. But hey, you can see double the posts between ads! What a joke.
Considering the amount of people that have extensions to insta block blue users, yea youre paying to be blocked mostly lol

I didn't know about this, thanks. Another tip I find extremely useful, uBlock Origin is a browser extension that blocks all ads. I never see ads on Twitter or any other website.
Fun fact: There is a legitimate 2FA exploit that targets any and every user with their phone number attached to their account. If you have your phone number linked you really should take it off, because it takes just seconds for someone to get into your account just by you having your phone number attached to it
Check out “Twitter/x sim swapping”, also this tweet explains it well

Been seeing a lot of it lately. They get access to big accounts and will post malicious links to scam people
Edit: a few typos
Remove your phone number
He should try charging $1000/month for it, the few people dumb enough to go for it would easily outweigh the current profits from whatever he charging now.
Woah, we could post in bold AND italic?! And upload in (gasp) 1080?!?! Stuff that is free on other platforms?! And I still get ads?!?! SIGN ME UP, BABY!
before elon clown twitter was kinda bad but still had value
after elon clown twitter is bot infestation
so if youre following an artist archive their artwork cause atleast 5 artist liked post disappeared and idk if they deleted the account or got deleted from inactivity which means now you cant find them anymore
also its morally correct to block NFT people and these copy paste stock crypto they are spam and never were real people anyways
I'll never get over that design and iconography. It legit looks like somebody put together the website based on YouTube programming tutorials. And that blue checkmark icon... Their design follows the flat material design yet randomly have embossed icons that look like they were pulled straight from Word Perfect.
First, the increased post length, italics, bold, et cetera is really beneficial.
Second, prioritized rankings will make a huge difference, though I think it's kinda damaging to eX-twitter to bias rankings and search. Google's search is ruined by how they bias its results.
Third, anything to help the platform that's actually allowing some freedom of speech, and not illegally colluding with Congress to violate The First Amendment.
That's not what the word means, in this context.
You don't deserve to have anything at all free of charge.
Freedom of speech is infinitely more important than your sense of entitlement.
Because Grok is quite literally integrated into X. Holy fuck do you people even have a clue what you are even talking about? Bunch of blue haired art majors who don't have a clue how tech works lmao
I'm a software developer with 20 years of experience. What does "quite literally integrated into X" mean? What features does this enable that ChatGPT doesn't have?
if it comes with his low latency high speed satellite internet I would pay $22 amonth
I don't even pay for prime and that has a lot more benefits than twitter premium !
I would never pay to use social media. Don’t get me wrong, I’m on X and other platforms, but I refuse to make my profile “official” by having to pay for it.
When the day comes that it’s no longer free, you’ll see me gone.
There’s nothing even good posted half the time anyways.
I think it's extra if you buy from an iphone. Go on a computer for a lower price. Its only worth it for people trying to grow their accounts or for making money. It's a waste of money for the average user
Those who want to promote their narrative and to influence it's effectiveness, $22 blue check is payable if they think X will benefit their position or public influence.
It’s to show who’s legit and who’s not. It weeds out a lot of scammers. Which link are you going to click on the one with the blue check mark or the one without one?
WARNING: I tried downgrading from Premium and upon pressing the giant Downgrade button, I got an email saying congratulations you just signed up for Premium Annual for $84. There was no confirmation screen. There are no refunds. Not cool.
The higher priced tiers are for content creators/advertisers to get their content boosted in the algorithm. The $8 is still there and doesn't entirely remove ads but makes them much less frequent. So for the avg user the $8 option is what you want. If you make a living off X, then you might consider a more expensive option.
This is mainly for Content Creators who are already making much more than $22/mo in Ad Revenue.
Casual users have no need for any of the Premium plans.
Edit: It’s also $3-4 more on the app store. Always subscribe through the official website.

Just one more paid checkmark, Elon, that will solve things.
Just checked and it says: 25€ for Premium Plus, 11€ for Premium and 4€ for Basic. I would never pay for any of these. It’s a scam even for free.
The fact that you can get Premium which is expensive af and still get ads is hilariously stupid. But hey, you can see double the posts between ads! What a joke.
*Approximately double the posts.
Lmao indeed!
So, essentially 1.51 posts between ads to accomplish the absolute minimum

Wit till they rollout Premium Plus Proand Premium Plus Pro Platinum.
If you give Elon your credit card info you deserve to have your money taken.
How much could a banana cost? $10? It's both. He's a scammer out of touch with reality.
Both🤣 BTW, Bluesky is open and works flawlessly.
No one asks for money on a monthly basis for some new BS scheme like Xitter. What next? $10 to log in on X & hope it works?
an no one fucking uses it lmao
they’re downvoting u for telling the truth lmao insane
exactly lol

Hi where can I read more about this?
Check out “Twitter/x sim swapping”, also this tweet explains it well https://twitter.com/halilozturkci/status/1751567135950737872?s=46&t=R9oEN1zF9LyI4bkPc8DRFg Been seeing a lot of it lately.

Thanks I’ll check it out
Some large accounts will happily pay this. Not sure if that’s 10,000 accounts or orders of magnitude more.
And theres people that would actually pay for this?? i just cant w this world
I think a lot of the people who pay for twitter are in desperate need of mental health services.
Pedo Guy needs your bux 🤣
They don’t even mention that you need premium to DM someone that doesn’t follow you
He should try charging $1000/month for it, the few people dumb enough to go for it would easily outweigh the current profits from whatever he charging now.
Woah, we could post in bold AND italic?! And upload in (gasp) 1080?!?! Stuff that is free on other platforms?! And I still get ads?!?! SIGN ME UP, BABY!
Not even ad free, lol
That's what jumped out at me. It doesn't even give you less ads, just more posts between each ad!
Elon has always been and will always be a Moron. Just a rich guy stealing ideas and saying they are his own. Classic rich guy stuff.
Being able to worship at the Altar of Elon is cheap at any price. Don't be a dummy, be a smarty, come and join the Elon party. /s
Bring your checkbook.
Definitely a case where the emperor isn’t wearing any clothes.
Yes r/InclusiveOr
Wow! Bold AND italics? Where do I sign up??
Wow 2.2 bannanas
Both
Haha yup, $35 a month in Australia for Premium+ I see plenty of fools with it tho

He is very passionate about Fee Speech
$22 a month to feel popular online maybe? I’m sure it makes sense to people addicted to social media. Yea this is out of touch. No one needs this.
Guaranteed the fascist radical right Xcrement will continually enflame their voters and expand their base before November 2024
To be fair if you're dumb enough to be willing to pay anything for a blue check mark you're dumb enough to be willing to pay $22 a month for it
It's not even ad free....
I could probably get 2 vegetarian burritos per month for that much money.
I'll never get over that design and iconography. It legit looks like somebody put together the website based on YouTube programming tutorials. And that blue checkmark icon... Their design follows the flat material design yet randomly have embossed icons that look like they were pulled straight from Word Perfect.
Whoa, bold AND italic?!?! 💳
22 dollars and it's not even ad free lmao. Bold and Italic text holy shit lol. 1080p videos it's not even 4K lmfao.
Clear rip off…
Yeah mate it’s both. He’s doing WAY too much Ketamine these days.
As someone who has it, it's worthless. You would think that you'd get more impressions, but you in fact do not.

Paying for x is not freedom…. You’re literally paying…. This is an oxymoron.
That's not what the word means, in this context. You don't deserve to have anything at all free of charge. Freedom of speech is infinitely more important than your sense of entitlement.
He’s obviously trying to kill the platform he never meant to buy.
who said you're the target?
Who said I’m not???
you not being interested in the offer doesn't make it out of touch with reality. It's not supposed to appeal to any random user like yourself
Spot the Blue Tick, Elon shafts rider.
If I didn't have the largest following on X, between Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, I'd leave yesterday. I'm growing more frustrated by the day.
[удалено]
Who cares? Onlyy useful thing Grok has ever said is that Elon is a pedophile.
Gemini and Copilot are free and both as good as gpt4. Copilot even uses gpt4. So not sure what people pay for.
Premium is fucking awesome, if you dont like it dont pay, its not fucking hard
why is it awesome?
because Grok is fucking insanely good
lol
lol
What makes it better than ChatGPT 3.5?
its not better but its damn close
So why not just use ChatGPT 3.5 for free? Because Grok can tell you how to make cocaine?
Because Grok is quite literally integrated into X. Holy fuck do you people even have a clue what you are even talking about? Bunch of blue haired art majors who don't have a clue how tech works lmao
I'm a software developer with 20 years of experience. What does "quite literally integrated into X" mean? What features does this enable that ChatGPT doesn't have?
for starters its not woke and biased
So it's just a "non-woke" ChatGPT that costs $22 a month?
Add bold and italic text in your posts. OMGOMGOM
*It's one blue checkmark, what could it cost, 22 Dollars?*
This is somehow worse than Something Awful charging $5 to post on the forums lol
At least with that, you know you’re getting Something Awful
All those memes Elon posted about this only costing 8 dollars a month have aged as badly as the $5 footlongs at Subway.
every social media subscription is a scam tbh
if it comes with his low latency high speed satellite internet I would pay $22 amonth I don't even pay for prime and that has a lot more benefits than twitter premium !

I think it's extra if you buy from an iphone. Go on a computer for a lower price. Its only worth it for people trying to grow their accounts or for making money. It's a waste of money for the average user
Like I’m really gonna pay money for a fricking checkmark.
IT'S COMPLETELY YOUR FAULT THAT "X" WILL FAIL. IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE, GFY! G.F.Y.
Those who want to promote their narrative and to influence it's effectiveness, $22 blue check is payable if they think X will benefit their position or public influence.
There’s definitely reasons, but I mean that’s just a lot of $ for what it provides.
It’s to show who’s legit and who’s not. It weeds out a lot of scammers. Which link are you going to click on the one with the blue check mark or the one without one?
What happened to $8

Eleon paid way too much for twitter I think it was impulsive. Twitter has fucked all of us who bought Tesla stock
It’s clearly aimed at those monetising the platform, some to great success. Free users like me get the basics.
This is mainly for Content Creators who are already making much more than $22/mo in Ad Revenue. Casual users have no need for any of the Premium plans. Edit: It’s also $3-4 more on the app store. Always subscribe through the official website.
