this take is still making me so disappointed
very cool to block artists and other creators who are relying on this platform to make a living
if twitter is forcing creatives to pay for blue to stay afloat I'm not going to blame or hurt creators, but maybe that's just me

I don't like musk, his decisions the past weeks have been garbage, but please don't make it even worse by punishing the people who really need this place to survive
and keep in mind that those $8 doesn't go into elons pocket, it goes to twitter

to clarify - this "pay for visibility" feature sucks
I hate it, it should never have been introduced
but *if* the new norm is that this is the only way to stay visible to the audience you've built for years, then I wouldn't blame or block someone for getting it

mweh, this sucks. everything about it. I'm getting depressed even talking about it, have to log off for a bit.
please let's not self destruct over this discourse, and please be kind to each other
