Reply to comment by boogrit in A Simple Analysis Of Twitter's Potential Change In Business Model [OC] by chartr

Step one is not profitability. It's cleaning up the platform.

I don't understand why people ignore the reasons Elon literally gives. (just kidding, I do understand - don't agree- people just want to hate anything he does...) There is, or Elon believes there is a massive bot problem. Verified accounts will be more prominent. No scammer is going to pay 8$ a month for each of his thousand bots so they get pushed down.

Now, am I a fan of pushing down actual people who don't want to pay? No. But can we please stop ignoring the legitimate parts of his reasoning?

Cutting jobs and increasing prices while overpaying for Twitter and getting in debt... Is totally about profitability.

It's not 8$ to use Twitter - only for services which include verification. A scammer doesn't use or need those services.
