Twitter’s ad revenue is down 89% and not many users are signing up to its paid subscription. In April, it’s removing “legacy” blue checks and further prioritizing paid accounts.

For Disconnect, I explain that Elon Musk needs this to push more users to subscribe to Twitter Blue so he can pay his $1.5 billion in annual interest payments. But it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen.

Elon Musk is actively dismantling the experience that brought people to Twitter in the first place. They’re not going to pay for a declining platform.

When Twitter dies, it needs to take Musk and the genius myth he built around himself with it. We shouldn’t let him try to shape our future anymore.

Time to really question those who are still on Twitter about their morals / ethics.
