That's actually a pretty smart idea. But the subscription idea seems pretty weak to me. I mean, how many people actually have 1 million+ followers to pay $99/month?


Kylie Jenner would be 1k per month Ronaldo would be 5k per month Trump would be 2600 per month

There are a few


Ever since Trump became President, I've started checking Twitter every day, just to see what he says.

I imagine there are at least a million others that have been brought back to twitter just to see what Trump says.

If he doesn't pay, then twitter loses all those eyeballs. That seems like a loss for twitter. I don't see how this will work.


And Trump does seem like the type who'd say "what, you're billing me? Well I'm going to build my own microblogging platform... with blackjack and hookers! In fact, forget the microblogging."

"..and it's gonna be the greatest microblogging platform, and we're gonna make Twitter pay for it!"


So you're saying with your idea Twitter, a company with 4000+ employees, can make around $10k MRR from its largest customers.
