Hell no, and that's why I love the idea and definitely encourage them to do so.

The correct answer is no.

I'd happily pay a monthly fee for twitter to stop existing

I would pay to not use it.

You couldn't even pay me to use Twitter

As I understand, even when paying you would still see ads and not get any benefits over what Twitter is at the moment whatsoever. I honestly cannot imagine the platform retaining many users after such a drastic step.

Sorry Jovan Musk, from Calvin Klein! The answer is nooooOOOOOoooo. Old Twitter is dead. You killed it, and now you're trying to sell me its smelly corpse.

no I'm not willing to play for using twitter, I'll just delete my account.

as for the "it's the only way to combat the army of bots" comment - how is that the army of bots only became a problem after twitter became x? i never had a problem before but now my every tweet is liked by a kinsley, madeline, josephine, mia or layla. it's crazy.

oh, maybe that's one of the microservices they shut down

I wouldn't use Twitter even if it was the one paying ME

I am so tired of seeing this goon on my feed

Nah, I'll definitely get that latte instead.

$0.

Twitter like so many other social media companies came into being with users as the product. As that fails (both because Elon is an idiot and because consumer knowledge has improved), these companies are finding that they never really had a sustainable business model.

Let the market work it out, as the overlords are so fond of.

Looking forward to the influx of users to Bluesky and Mastodon, keep it up lemonsuk

I left already. I'm certainly not paying to use something so terrible

I won’t even use it for free, so paying seems unlikely.

Oh god, please do this.

I'm not willing to use it even while it's still free, so no. Mastodon FTW

He went from saying he was going to build an 'everything app' to charging for something that does nothing and is shit at it.

Maybe I will finally go delete my old account.

Naw.

YES, I will absolutely pay for X every month! Greatest idea he’s ever had.

Yes to the polls, but no chance in hell

Even if it was free, I wouldn't use it. I'd rather not waste hours of my time in there. And yes, I had that opinion before Musk bought Twitter and renamed it to X (I actually left the platform exactly 24 days before the renaming, the same day that I left Reddit).
