RE: They Can't Compete: Twitter's New Subscription Feature

in LeoFinance3 years ago

I remember some years back, some of the "free image hosting" sites decided they had to start making money, so they put up a "hostage wall" whereby you were welcome to continue using your account for free, but "due to our new software" all your archives would be deleted unless you signed up for the "for pay" service by such-and-such a date. Many people were royally pissed off, but surprisingly many paid the "ransom" to not lose years and years of accumulated activity.

I expect twitter might try something similar, perhaps limiting their free version by something like "max number of followers you can have on the free version is 1,000" so loads of people will HAVE to pay, to keep their followers.

We definitely need Project Blank!

Ah the max followers thing would be devious indeed! I wouldn’t be surprised to see it. Funny how it seems like such an early 2000’s thing to hide behind the pay wall huh?
