@fisunov @MagnetoMancer While I'm sure it's fun to brainstorm ideas as to how social media could be better, in the real world, no one is going to want to pay to use a social network.
@olives @MagnetoMancer you probably right but not because people do not want to pay, it is because many young people there, do not want to upload their passport scan on twitter, many don't have scanner, many don't have credit card or money at all. and people in general are just not as rich to just throw away even even just $1 dollar, though many people will stil pay, many will not, but many also will.
@MagnetoMancer actually I think it will be right thing of him to do and I thought about it too that he should do it for accounts with over 100 Followers they should pay. It will make people care more about their followers and quality of content will greatly improve. twitter as well as well fediverse should quit all the fake following. it creates too much activity for a network for one person which not really honest towards admins or healthy for a network. and people following even something like 200 accounts most likely do not read them which does not make sense. I think YouTube should do the same thing and quit all this hundreds of thousands fake followers nonsense. followers should pay and part of money should go to people they follow - would be cool and make sense - this fill support artists and just good people who will do good content.
