I like your analysis.
I think you bring up a good point that content creators aren’t going to be cool with the concept of paying for the privilege of making Twitter $.

I don't math. I used $1 becasue I figured that is what the average person would pay. I'm average and I pay $3 a month to Amazon to keep videos of all the critters visiting my yard at night.
