The dumb shits who are still on there hate him but they refuse to leave. They have his balls in their hand but they won't do the one thing that will break him. And now they're going to pay him.

I wonder how reddit users would respond to this sort of treatment. We've already sorta proven that most users are addicted enough that they'd get away with it.
Suppose I shouldn't give anyone ideas though...
Recent events have shown most redditors would be perfectly fine with such treatment.
Awwww, is someone regretting paying $45 billion for a website?
That implies he has the capability to recognize mistakes.
I believe he can recognise his mistakes, but he's just so obsessed with looking cool to children who aren't his own to openly admit that he, a 52 year old child who's the product of 2 Disney villains, doesn't know what he's talking about or doing most of the time, that man's definitely been coked out the last few years.
So:
Only for new accounts. (for now)
Only in NZ and the Philippines (for now)
I assume a vpn to sign up will get around this (for now) as they only talk about account creation.
To me it sounds like a way to make people create accounts, because soon they will have to pay.
Because the Twitter is semi locked, they're are people like me who are not interested in creating account to view replies.
Please please please please please implement this. Keep all the right-wing edgelords corralled in a playpen, SIC the FBI on there and get them to pay for the privilege of feeding on each other's hatred.
Bye bye X
I only read stuff from a few various random accounts on there. If they even try charging a dollar for that, it'll get uninstalled in the same breath. Hell, I may just uninstall on GP.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
After Elon Musk hinted last month that X could start charging all users, the company (formerly known as Twitter) announced a test of such a system.
The test will apply only to new web accounts, and the fee will be waived if users sign up for X’s $3.99 per month premium subscription service.
New users in the testing region who opt out of premium and the annual subscription will only be able to read posts, watch videos and follow accounts — but not interact on the platform.
It also comes after Musk made a vague statement in a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last month suggesting he could start charging all users.
The European Commission last week formally opened an investigation into X after a previous warning about disinformation and illegal content on its platform linked to the conflict.
“X is… addressing identified fake and manipulated content during this constantly evolving and shifting crisis,” X CEO Linda Yaccarino said in a letter to EU Commissioner Thiery Breton last week.
