@LauraMiers Blocking Blue buyers may not be a good idea. But many of us consider this new system itself to be elitist and siloing, because Blue buyers get features the rest of us don’t—most importantly, you get “boosted”. Which means the rest of us are DEboosted. It’s “PAY-for-full-reach”!
@LauraMiers This system bifurcates Twitter into two tiers—those who can easily spare “a few dollars a month”, and those who can’t. The “haves” will rarely even see the tweets of the “have nots”.
We grassroots activists and entrepreneurs will now find it even harder to “reach” the “haves”.
@LauraMiers We peons may not even be able to connect with EACH OTHER as easily anymore, if Blue buyers are boosted in EVERYONE’s feed.
All in all, Twitter’s valuable “free speech”, influencing, and networking opportunities are becoming a paywalled elite good.
#ApartheidClyde strikes again!
