Twitter is exploring potential ways to further monetise its platform — including considering introducing a paid subscription model — the firm indicated today.

CEO Jack Dorsey reportedly revealed the plans during a conference call with analysts to discuss the firm's relatively disappointing second quarter earning results.

Dorsey has always been a far left activist more than a CEO. They sacked him once. They may do it again.

Could it be advertisers are cutting adds because of twitter censorship of conservatives? That can’t be a cause, oh no.

Silencing 157,000 of your most motivated truth seekers will tend to do that.

Now watch half or more of your customer base eventually go where ever they do.

But that won’t be a problem for @Jack. He looks to have much bigger problems before then.

If I wanted to destroy Twitter, I’d make it pay as you go.

A real shame.

LMAO, the bots aren’t going to buy a Twitter subscription, and without the bots, a lot of the Twitter “influencers” will lose half or more of their followers, and when the illusion is punctured, they might just lose the rest.

Smooth move, Jack.
