It's a very clever move by Musk I have to say. All in one go it: * Removes the reliance on advertising for site revenue, which means advertisers have FAR less control and say over what content can stay or go. * Makes it so Twitter shitlibs will likely become just "regular" users instead of this pseudo-priest class. * Dampens the ability of (((MSM))) to reinforce the shitlib status of random shitlib users by embedding/quoting their tweets in articles (since they won't, due to the very real possibility of getting trolled, cite unverified accounts).
