Starting April 15th, only verified accounts will be eligible to be in For You recommendations.
The is the only realistic way to address advanced AI bot swarms taking over. It is otherwise a hopeless losing battle.
Voting in polls will require verification for same reason.

Consider this: Musk knows a hell of a lot more than almost anyone else about making money (and he's on the inside of Twitter, so he sees the various potentially profitable angles that we can't see).
If Twitter can turn a profit, Musk is the man to do it.
I think I will too.
I won’t.
I’m still banned for sone strange reason.
You would make for good company and conversation in a bar.
I started using Twitter after Musk bought it. Great source for news, etc. without censorship. I might pay the $7. There was a line from the movie ‘The Social Dilemma’ which said something like “If you aren’t paying for the product, you ARE the product.”
And a note to Mr. Musk, since I can’t do it on Twitter...
Mr. Musk, why didn’t you point out that there is no such thing as a shutdown. That most of Fedzilla gets deemed “essential” and rolls merrily along whether we need it or not.
If ATC gets shut down its because Deep State is putting the screws to taxpayers.
You left that bit out, pard.
You can waste a lot of time scrolling through twitter but it’s interesting if you’re a news junkie there is nothing better
Many friends of ours (conservatives) have accounts so always good to follow them.
I think FLT is right we will soon take over that place as the libs won’t cough up.
I hate articles that are nothing but a collection of tweets. Often, the article author will embed the tweet...and then copy and post the actual comment inside the tweet as a repeat. That’s not writing...that’s plagiarism.
In the years I’ve been on Twitter I’ve posted less than a half dozen times. It’s the videos of events and posts of various organizations I have followed that keep me there. I understand why Musk is doing it, but if I have to pay him a monthly fee, I stop going there. I would rather give money to FreeRepublic, but I can’t even do that right now.
“It distributes information incredibly fast.”
It distributes disinformation even faster.
I’m sending him $9/month and not whining.
Buy one share of Tesla stock and pay the Twitter fee from the Tesla monthly gain
Elon is essentially red pilled now. He’s far from an idiot or a deep state tool.
Elon is a disruptive genius ranking with the greatest of the very great American businessmen
They can have it.
You cannot have a completely free, unmoderated forum that won’t eventually get junked up to the point where it’s useless.
And pay to play will filter things a bit. I pay, which validates that I am a real user. I do the same here on FR, though no one notices. And do the same on other sites that I regularly participate in (where they also, like Twitter, identify real users). Not a big deal, the amount of money is small.
Yeah, except I'd have to drink Diet Pepsi due to Type II diabetes, and I'd be forced to wear my hearing aids in order to hear you.
