'>>7134565
A core idea to fight fraud and the like is to make it unprofitable. If the fraudsters income are low enough, a small fee might deter a fair percentage of bots.

The exact situation is unknown to all of us, but it's reasonable to assume that the guys at X are well aware of the details, that they have enough cash to hire people expert in fraud, who can derive stats like:

> new accounts set to 2€ reduce new bots by 20%

It's also more than desirable for X to develop paid accesses, so as to develop other sources of income than ads, given the recent issues with ads sellers: you don't want your business to be in the hands of people who hate you.

Usually businesses decisions aren't made for a single reason by a single guy living in an ivory tower: those are complex processes involving many variables and many people.

It's always kinda funny to see a bunch of clueless (no offense: you guys literally lack education and foresight) excited anons thinking they're cleverer than a bunch of paid professionals with high visibility over the situation.

Are you aware of WoW gold farmers?

On Xitter; Bot accounts are used to boost brand accounts and blue checkmarks to farm engagement to get recommended by the algorithm and revenue. You can even reasonably assume that a substantial % of fake profiles is from twitter itself, since it used to be the case before Musk.
So, botters can easily outearn whatever fee they might be paying per account since the business is highly profitable and the bots themselves will probably get more aggressive to boost engagement.

A more reasonable price would be current blue sub x new account, with blue doubling in price.
Or even a monthly fee.
On the other hand, all these smart people know that if they paywall that shithole, everyone's gonna leave since the only real draw of the site is that you can make an account for free and there no actual, real incentive to use the platform as an average guy except for insulting people or trolling or gobbling up drama if you're some kid.
All the content on there can easily be found elsewhere and most of what you see is ads anyway.
Content creators will leave as well since audiences won't be there anymore and
brand accounts will leave since there are no more people they can advertise to.

Friends? If you use social media for "friends" you don't have any.
Networking? Everyone will leave, also there is artstation or linkedin.

Nope, again, educated guesses; from X's point point view, getting rid of *all* the bots is probably way too costly.

Getting rid of a substantial amount of bots with limited effort is generally what you want to start with;but it also allows them to test paid accounts as an alternative source of income.
Getting rid of all the bots, which you can reasonably assume make a great amount of traffic on the platform, would also be detrimental to the brand experience, since bots are always the first employed to boosts those posts and brand accounts.
Political and Public figures included.

The issue is also how the algorithm favors accounts with big numbers, thus when you want your posts to reach as many users as possible, you start to employ bots to engage in that post since sponsored tweets i.e. brand accounts that pay a fee to have their posts go "viral", were always a thing.

Long story short; Even a blind man saw the shift to paid accounts coming.
Next is Identification, where if you want an account you must register with your legal name and in the next 5 to 10 years if you're not on twitter:
>paying for the account while having your legal name
you will either get weird looks or barred from entry in any jobs/industry

Adult accounts i.e. porn artists and porn addicts will all be gone, and the platform will be squeaky clean for advertisers and brands.
So, not only will you pay for a twitter account with your real name, you will also be shown ads and sponsored tweets, basically changing nothing.
Ah, yes, and the bots? They will still be there but they will not be so obvious to spot.
It's just too obvious of a proceeding.

Social media fatigue is also constantly on the rise and i highly doubt your average people will pay for the Xitter experience and all the kiddies won't be able to pay for it.

Other alternative is that the site becomes yet another full blown porn site IF identification is not introduced, but there is the issue with taxes and payment processors.';

Wrong. FUCKING wrong. It wasn't a problem back when this shit was just given out for free when boomer parents told us how retarded it was to give art out for free. So when people actually cared enough to pay people for custom requested art all was well, unless it was made apparent you can pander to coombrains so lowly that the most shiniest looking hpyerrealism rendered aigen slop was all that was needed to appeal to coomers, the need to have a talented artist that pays by the dollar of detail, it just made no sense to pay for porn anymore.

Normies was the filler that allowed for people to still post art and be both enjoyed for free and for anyone that would pay for personal work. But now with a shittiest mandated prudish site only Normies like to go to because their favorite e-celeb or political messiah posts content there, and the art only site only being occupied by artists that could get the exact same engagement from being in a Discord call, there's virtually no synergy to have a healthy cycle of audience to art to justify it anymore.';

'>>7135175
> which you can reasonably assume make a great amount of traffic on the platform
Definitely my experience.

>The issue is also how the algorithm favors accounts with big numbers
Yes, it's a major problem with all social media. In the end, they encourage superficial quality, everything becomes shallow, people game the thing, everyone wants to be on top of everyone, people stop treating each other as human beings.

I've never but since recently, early 30s, started to use them, it's just awful. No idea why people surrender to this, unless they have to for professional reasons, like artists. I feel insulted of using Instagram given how intensely designed it is to lock you in.

BlueSky is filled with woke censorious turds that escaped Twitter after Elon bought it. For all the problems X has the alternatives so far are worse.';

And for the record I don't give a shit about race, sexual preference or any of that. You could be a dye in the wool liberal brown tranny or an ugly haggard middle-aged woman and I wouldn't have any problem with you as long as you don't try to censor the shit I like or force yours onto mine.

It isn't about Right vs Left, it's about People who are for Free Expression (regardless of political color) vs People who are Against Freedom of Expression (usually woke activists but also Biblethumpers and gynocentric ethnonationalists).';

If you or I go to a Twitter/X alternative and whoever runs the moderation team says you can't post or draw what you want then said alternative is useless.';

QRD? sounds like either an 'all-in-one' or something that connects all the different sites.';

I personally would not be surprised that the type of JPs using bluesky are the same or similar type or 'western folk' that bandwagoned over to it.

Look up a couple of jap artist you’re following, they have an account there. A almost half of the ones i’m following made one the day it opened and still posting on there';

we just need more human moderation, not just twatter but sites of all hobbykind. the internet is going to shit and nobody can find useful information anymore. let us make listings for all genres of artists, and let humans decide if it's the work of other humans.';

'As much as it pains me to say it, artists are on the same tier as OF thots, systemwise.
>Artist creates art
>Posts arts
>Wants more followers, not to inherently build a platform FOR TWITTER, but to funnel the followers into their ventures outside twitter (selling private commissions, redirecting them to Patreon)
>OF thots do the exact same thing, Twitter is nothing but an ad platform for them, as it is for artists
The only thing, the ONLY thing that can crack this system, is to curb your desire to just wanting to pump numbers to capitalize elsewhere and do it on twitter.
And THIS is where the real money gatekeep should be, imagine:
You create an account, and are given 1000 credits. You can spend 10 credits to follow an account, plus any amount of extra credits you want to donate. This credits do nothing, but when you give them all, you can't follow anyone else. When you unfollow someone, you get your credits back.
Now, on the other side, there's a cap on followers. Let's say, you can only have 3k followers. This may look shitty to you but remember, now followers aren't just a number's game as each follower is invested in your account, and you can track the credits people donate on follow, so if you have a couple followers that are 2000 credits on your follow, you know those are real followers in a 3k capped account (which is the same as having 10 real follower in a 150k bots account)
Meaning botting to "boost" your numbers do nothing but cap you out from real followers.
You can pay to unlock to have more followers.
Credist are just a tracking system, for Twitter to find bots, and as metric of interest for you.';

None of them failed, don't fall for the media obsession that something has to get a gorillion users overnight.
Since the gram is the place where lots of normies post, I checked out threads and there's a fairly small community there. It's much better than the incessant mental derangement of three twitter userbase and if one day it get big, it's gonna be enshittified for sure.';

Almost every single bot I see is already paying 8 bucks a month for the blue checkmark, how is this going to accomplish anything? Why can't they just pay moderators or something';

It's a system problem like that autist say two post back
The bots are there because they cracked the algorythm on how to get big botting, and once you get big the algorythm picks up and you are naturally served more with less bot effort';

ignore the faggots whove been saying twitter is dead for a few years now while they still use twitter. Only competition is tiktok but even then, higher percentage of retards in dresses';
