I don't think people should be paying to see tweets. It should belong to the commons. I don't mind seeing ads or paying for video content because that takes a lot of work.
But, I would imagine that twitter will try to be more like youtube/tik tok/instagram so maybe it would make more sense then.
I do. I hold the advertisement model as responsible for the state of the web today. We need to find another revenue model for funding web content, otherwise we'll be stuck with zero privacy on the web and saturated with low effort, click-bait content.
Bitcoin while there were still room in the blocks did solve that problem. Most people just didn't and still don't understand that. Just think of it as some kind of investment scheme or something used by criminals.
