Best time now to make twitter for building an audience, any later you will pay a fee to make a new account
twitter is already dead give up
kek so what the fuck went wrong with mastodon/bluesky/threads??? why has literally every Xitter killer failed miserably? Why is Elon Reeve Musk the single most competent homo sapiens alive?
>>7134528>best time now to leave twitter*
>>7134528>Elon loves bots and AI, supports the creation of more bots and AI>Elon says bots are a problem>Elon charges you money so he can stop bots and put more money into bots and AI>Elon says bots are a problem>Elon convinces you for a second time to give him more money so he can stop bots and put more money into bots and AI.>Elon says bots are a problemYou fucking retards, just leave already.
>>7134528Is it enough to finally kill it, fuck!!!
Please for the love of fuck just let this shitstain on the internet die already
>>7134533Inertia>>7134528Why don't you NEVER post a link to the direct source. Like, NEVER. For crying out loud, here's how it's done:https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1779930065469383166Bots are really an issue btw, but the ones I see are trivial to detect and nuke. Although, they may not be nuking them on purpose.
>>7134558>Bots are really an issue btwand having to pay money stops them how?
>>7134532It's living dead. Like so many services, the core is rotten but there's enough money and clout involved it must be kept on life support.When crisis hits, it's the result of many ignored issues reaching a tipping point.
>>7134565A 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.Just stay humble, there's no shame in being ignorant; arrogance is disgraceful tho.
>>7134584Funny enough, you're sounding like a bot shill for X.
>>7134528One step closer to becoming the payment and delivery app Musk wants it to be.
>>7134528Please just put Twitter out of its misery already holy shit.
>>7134591so....wechat?
>>7134584do you think 4chan should do the same? it did just get email confirmation on /biz/ board in order to post because of bots after all
>>7134613Yes. There's been no smokescreen around the fact everything in twitter is getting monetized. That's the whole deal about becoming the "everything app".
>>7134536>release the sickness>sell the cureStandard business procedure.
>>7134627Well then musk can do what he wants, twitter is such a shit platform due to the bots that at this point paying to join might just be the only solution
>>7134627You don't really have to use itSame as every other platform and subscription service.>inb4 but muh networking Go outside if you want to be a professional artist that badly, retard.
>>7134638a better solution would be to ban the countries these botfarms come from like india
>>7134645rangeban the third world as a wholetheir ad rates are garbage anyway
>>7134584>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.Nigga that's you. Also it's more clever not cleverer, retard.
The next step is paying to get bot accounts whitelisted so only the customers can spam
I bet X already controls a lot of these >botsAlso it might turn a lot of new users into lurkers which means no new source of reposting comments or likes
>>7134565muskrat doesn't care about bots, as long they give him money. why give "solutions" when he can make money from that? He desperate right now
>>7134584Are 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 andbrand 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.Politics and news? lmao all the activity is fake and compromised.Xitter tried to become an online public square but failed because they chased money first and foremost.
Will you be able to pay anonymously?
>>7134672>Xitter tried to become an online public square but failed because they chased money first and foremost.It's almost like history is a repeating cycle.
>>7134528This has been tried in multiplayer games and it does not help. Well, it will for about 2 days maximum.
>>7134687Yeah I don't get it, don't the bots already pay for phone verification? It seems like it would have little impact on them and more impact on genuine users
>>7134528can't believe I trusted this guy to save Twitter. I never expected him to solve anything about the bot problem but it just got worse. What a fucking disappointment
>>7134543>>7134550Adorable that you think another site wouldn't take its place.
>>7134690The only solution to the internet bot crisis will be psycho-tier roblox captchas. This is the future.
>>7134700and that too will be flooded by bots and AI slop.
Would be funny if they got more trigger happy with permanently banning random accounts since it'd force them to pay for a new one
>>7134702I doubt roblox's core audience can even count that high lmao
>>7134528Disney made a grave mistake by leaving twitter. Look where it got them lmao. People will pay for brand loyalty whether you like it or not. Nobody wants another plebbit, instaslut, facecuck or netprick. We are in an era of risk averse homosapiens who will die off within a century which will bring forth the age of nothingness.
>>7134702just bring back the old book scan captcha, but make all the phrases shit like gas the kikes so bots can't type it
>>7134528Didn't this dude run a poll awhile back asking if he should step down and that he would honor the results of the poll? And the response was an overwhelming gtfo? What ever happened to that?
>>7134855Oh, you poor, poor, green little welp.
there needs to be a mass banning of nsfw accounts in order to get retards to stop using twitter
>>7134532>twitter is already dead give upit's actually pretty alive and I enjoy it. really, it's what you make of it. I mostly follow artists and classic comic collectors/fans and mostly avoid the political bullshit.>>7134533>why has literally every Xitter killer failed miserably?Because they're made up of the woketards who left when el0n took over. I have a Bluesky account that sits vacant because the site is basically Twitter circa 2016.
How long before they make it so you have to pay to make a single post? In this era of AI-generated content slop it's something I could imagine happening one day
>>7134892For just 25 cents a post (and an up to date internet ID connected to your social security number and bank account,) you too can talk with millions of other real live pieces of semi-sentient human garbage about things that very definitely Matter!
>>7134898Is there any reason not to do this? All that AI slop spam uses up precious bandwidth after all might as well monetize whenever they want to post. And yeah they'd definitely bot the people replying to you to incentivise you to post more
>>7134796>captchas that filter children, 3rd worlders and retardsSounds good to me.
>>7134533Nothing went wrong with bluesky, it's plan is obviously to position itself as THE twitter replacement and to just wait until twitter fucks up and collapses so that it can then absorb it's userbase afterwards. If twitter manages to actually turn things around and run competently again, or if twitter does collapse and bluesky doesn't actually manage to capture the userbase, then it's a failure. Until then, bluesky just seems to be biding it's time.
>>7134917>artists openly hate on twitter>twitter eventually dies>artists have the opportunity to go literally anywhere else>same artists move to bluesky, which is twitter except now your blocklist is publicWhat the fuck is wrong with artists?
>>7134528Twitter has never been the best place to build an audience.90% of interactions have always been botted.You get more commissions on dA, facebook, instagram and even /aco/.But you obsessed faggots will pay out the ass and drink Musk's smegma to stay on your barren twitter where no real human ever sees your shit.
>>7134979How will my work reach the right audience on DevianArt if everything is AI,furry art and 14 years westoid edgy stuff?
>>7134984We need a new art centric platform.-No AI, verification of art process required to post.-No emphasis on portfolios or industry connections.-Deviantart style profiles.-No nsfw, or a second front page for nsfw exclusively.-Organic algorithm.So simple. And yet it will never happen because humanity is filth.
>>7134984How will your work reach any audience at all on twitter where everyone is bots?I post twice a month on dA and still get comms because people who actually want to buy art go to art platforms, not twitter. Anyone who's been peddling the opposite all this time were twitter shills indoctrinating you for this moment wherein you'll pay them to "keep your art career alive" by posting to the same mindless bots that'll never buy you a comm, a print, etc.I've ran the numbers. dA and discord net you the most commissions, instagram and facebook the most ko-fi/etsy store traffic. Twitter and tumblr are worthless. A single facebook like is worth ten thousand retweets.
>>7135000You have a point and I agree with you.How is the publication on discord? Do you join a community or create your own?
>>7134533The same reason the 1000000000 4chan clones never worked. You can't just "make new THING that's like old THING, but its only virtue is that it as an entity is not the old THING". You have to give people something NEW. I mean, who the fuck wants to go to blue sky when everyone there is using the platform out of SPITE for twitter and not because they like it?
>>7134533people want to be heard, so they will go where everyone else is.
>>7134979where else can I post shota porn? Twitter is the only way
>>7134590Nope, but I do have domain experience.>>7134654> butthurtCan't take an objective critic hu, you must be found to hang around with. And naturally, you bicker on syntax instead of semantic.Even on semantic you're wrong though: https://www.google.com/search?q=clevererhttps://www.quora.com/I-ve-always-thought-cleverer-wasn-t-a-word-and-I-was-taught-to-say-smarter-instead-Have-I-been-wrong-my-whole-life>>7134619I have no idea. I mean, even for X, all I have are educated guesses: again those kind of situations are way to complex to do anything more but having educated guesses, unless you have full inside knowledge.The costs of running 4chan are probably lower than the costs of running X (temporary data, no video (?), limited user database, etc.)>>7134672Nope, 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.
>>7135038baraag?
>>7134533>so what the fuck went wrong with mastodon/bluesky/threads??? To me Bluesky/Threads are just too similar to twitter, with worse restrictions. Looking at other "big" social media sites (tiktok, facebook, insta, reddit, tumblr), they excel at different things. Personally I want an international version of Weibo..
>>7135076>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 nameyou will either get weird looks or barred from entry in any jobs/industryAdult 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.
If I get to a point where I'm good enough to make it on twitter I won't give a shit about paying 5$ to make an accDon't put the cart before the horse
>>7135177Will your potential viewer base care? You might have a viewer base that just lurks and doesn't retweet or like your posts because they can't without paying
>>7135177The same was said about blue and how 10 bucks a month is nothing if there is a benefit to it.And look where the platform is at now.Also i have seen a few accounts getting verified randomly without paying or asking for it, so that's coming back, my guess would be in preparation for a monthly fee to have an account since blue/premium has been a disaster overall.
>>7134904>All that AI slop spam uses up precious bandwidth The sad part is that AI despite being mostly slop is still more visually pleasing compared to what average Twitter artists drawsSo using bandwidth for AI is more worthwhile on average than having begs and ints post
>>7135189>inane insult post #5,004,578,996very witty and original
>>7135189Fuck off AIshill retard
>>7135196>>7135191It's literally the truth from corporation standpoint, and statistics seem to confirm that>Fuck off AIshill retardUnsure how I can be an AI shill if I haven't ever used SD
>>7135189desu true given how much of the drawn shit is low quality is trash coomslop
>>7135175Twitter won't exist in 5 years, and there might not even be civilian access to electric power in 10.
>>7134533>mastodonpeople are using it,but it has the inkbunny effect >blueskyonly retards use that
>>7135283japs use bluesky, anon
>>7135288there's like 30k japs there, shill harder
>>7134528where do people go now?
>>7134619Honestly, atleast an email verification would make the site way better because there's definitely bots on the more popular boards. I still think certain boards (Like /ic/) should have board wide IDs to deter mentally ill invalids that don't even participate in the hobby from skulking the board and throwing shit at anyone worth a damn.
>>7135303fuck off, faggotif I wanted a cuck handle I'd go to reddit or discordif you don't like the basic premise of the site, feel free to leave
>>7135308Yea, your the exact kind of person that shits up boards then wonders why no one besides schizophrenic monkeys throwing shit at shadows are the only ones posting.>if you don't like the basic premise of the site, feel free to leaveI guarantee you I've been here way longer then you. This board specifically used to be filled with actual artist (not terminally online porn addict invalids trying to make their own spank material) actually posting and giving each other critiques. But people like you chased them all off. Board-wide IDs would go along way to curve the mental retardation but I learned long ago that the vast majority of you degen fucks would rather roll around in a pile of shit then accept slight changes.
>>7135319>yeah your thestopped reading
>>7135322
>>7134533>why has literally every Xitter killer failed miserably? because everyone is already on the other platform and hardly anyone would switch unless whatever they're on becomes unusable>Why is Elon Reeve Musk the single most competent homo sapiens alive?lol his competence is having money, but I'm sure he'll eventually retweet you if you fanboy him online enough
>>7135319i second this anonIDs would fix a lot of this board's problems, from samefags, to "trolls", and otherwise ill intended faggots.Also Anons should start reporting low quality posts such as the usual buzzword insults like >7135322who treat the whole site as /b/ and /v/.It's just annoying and tiring always unable to talk about anything because there are these legit cumbrained and balldrained sexually confunsed, clinically retarded homosexuals always ready to spam nothing but buzzword and fill the threads with insults.You can't even give genuine critique without these retards derailing everything.
>>7135308>election tourist
>>7135369it's more needed, since poster count was fucking removed.
>>7134992Newgrounds seems viable.
>>7134528That is the most insane and funniest thing I've read about twitter in a while. Thank god that place is a tumblr shithole I don't care about. Anything that makes artists post their art on actual art sites instead of this trash can only be good. Maybe charge existing users or they lose the account or even better.. just ban porn.
>>7135403> Anything that makes artists post their art on actual art sitesthose sites are dead and no one but artist goes through those. unless for portfolio reasons. Normies are the reason why social media artist becane a viable source of income.
>>7135409>no one but artist goes through thosewasnt a problem before and normies dont give a shit about artists or art to begin with
>>7135413it was, that's why everyone moved to social media , retard
>>7135415>it was, that's why everyone moved to social media , retard>retard cant imagine a world before social mediaimpossible for a zoomer like you to understand
>>7135428I'm 34, retard. Again, the reason all artists are on social media is precisely because there was a problem it solved.
>>7135432>>7135428
>zoomer's brain shorts out
>>7135403>Anything that makes artists post their art on actual art sites The problem is they're not going to actual art sites, they're going to twitter clones. Nips in particular love twitter's format because they like posting photos of food and cats, and western artists love spamming memes and reaction gifs.
>>7134528Just join misskey
>>7135481Anon, I...
>>7135485You have no one to blame but yourself.We shilled the shit out of it here.
>>7134528KEK it's so fun watching you retards suffer willingly. Enjoy paying neet bux to talk to pajeet bots.
>>7135428Not surprised some retarded underage fuck like you would understand anything.
>>7134528I noticed my interaction numbers dripping a lot, but people are more active in replies. I wonder what the hell is going on
>>7135487>implying I give a shitYou can follow misskey artists with other mastodon instances. Plus misskey's interface is horrid.
>>7135508Pussy in bio bots
>>7135189Hyper rendered slop is the purest form of human death I've seen since 3D movies began being a thing.
>>7135413>wasnt a problem before and normies don't give a shit about artists or art to begin withWrong. 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 platformDefinitely my experience.>The issue is also how the algorithm favors accounts with big numbersYes, 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.> Other alternative is that the site becomes yet another full blown porn siteI don't think it'll happen given what Musk seems to be envisaging.
>>7135401I do wonder if Newgrounds will eventually explode in activity once the enshittification of these platforms reaches critical mass.
>>7135403>Anything that makes artists post their art on actual art sitesWhat's the point of that? Artists need an audience beyond other artists ($$$)
>>7135615why do you retards think only other artists use artsites?
>>7135612doubt it, site was about to shutdown, but friday night funkin saved it, but the site is still on life support. Also you get no traction on there unless you been there, since the beginning.
>>7135632if it's not something like deviant art or artstation(both got infested with al slop), then no normie touches art sites. there's a reason why sites like pillowfort and ikkau or whatever died out.
>>7135650Normies don't care about art. They never did, all they want is coom and distraction, or in the case of clients, they just want a sense of financial power over you.Art centric websites die because there's literally only 10,000 people in the entire fucking world that give a shit about art seriously, and that might be too high an estimate.
>>7135632Excluding studios; The non-artists are mostly porn consumers and addicts or heavily autistic porn addicts that are weirdly obsessed with their OCs.Or developers who make porn games. That's just a fact.Any other non-artists interested in art only is to see the pretty images or consume comics.It has always been like this that the people who consume and are interested in art the most are other artists, thus the only art that can be profited off are porn and comics.With most other things where art is present, is art the focus or does the art only accompany the product like with games for example.
>>7135663you forgot animations, anon. Animations provide the most value and profit.
>>7135669debatable, but sureUnless you mean nsfw animation, which is automatically included with porn
>>7135657>Normies don't care about art. They never did, all they want is coom and distractionyeah no shit, it's what you make with the art. but after they enjoy the product (entertainment, coom, whatever) they come to appreciate the art/artist. It's why comic/manga fans come to have their favorite artists/writers, but no shit, the product comes first.
>>7135727I don't think we're on the save wavelength. I'm saying that coom and distraction are worthless garbage for worthless garbage audiences.What's the point in making a product that idiots love? Is there any sense of fulfillment in that? Financial, sure, but on all other levels, it's unsustainable. "I'm so proud of myself, I made a product that made millions of mouth breathing retards coom in their hands." Big fucking deal.So what if those retards come to appreciate me? Do I want the appreciation of subhuman filth?Anyway, a bullet to the hippocampus is my preferred method of suicide.
>>7135732yeah it sucks, but with that mindset you might as well quit art or stick with it as a hobby and don't post any artwork at all. your eyes only, no one else.
>>7135732>Financial, sure, but on all other levels, it's unsustainable.True, an artist has to make what they love for it to be sustainable. But I do believe some love to create coom. As for "distraction" that could mean many things. Comics & manga are a "distraction," considered trash pulp entertainment by some, but at it's best an elevated artform by others.
>>7135632>why do you retards think only other artists use artsites?do they? I guess weebs use some of those to find fanart/ get commissions, so if your thing is anime it's your niche. For those who are doing something more expansive, like webcomics or other styles, big social media is still where it's at because that's where the audience is. There are niches of interests there that can connect with what you're making.
>>7135000>>7135003>discordDo you mean posting in self-promo channels, or is there a better way to get the word out there?
>>7134532average retard who thinks bsky is popping off when it's literally all just twitter reposts>>7134533twitter is literally unkillable now because bsky fucked up by making it invite only for so long. literally everyone lost interest.
>>7136147Twitter is already dead, zoomies and alphas don't use it. Boomers went to threads or facebook and nobody gives a shit what millenials and brands have to say.The sad truth is if you had put all the effort you put into "building an audience" on twitter into instagram, facebook or even fucking linkedin, you'd be much better off now.
>>7136147>bsky is popping off when it's literally all just twitter repostsit's worst than that, it's all the worst people of Twitter-past congregated into one place>>7136672>zoomies and alphas don't use it.holy shit, sounds like nirvana. i'm there.
>>7136693>the safe space of millenial karens and wokies>nirvanaI'd rather hang with the kids that think Nirvana is a clothes brand.
>>7135189Go back fa/g/got.
>>7136756>the safe space of millenial karens and wokiesThat's BlueSky right now. X now seems to be mostly based gen Xers and elder millenials.
>>7135086NOOOO BUT MY ENGAGEMENT IS SO LOW THERE>*doesn't tag their work*>*never interact with any other artists on the site*>*doesn't tell anyone outside of discord that they have an account on there*>*continues to draw the safe, milquetoast shit they were drawing on twitter*
>>7136856NTA but you're right.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.
>>7136924(cont)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).
>>7136924>>7136941(cont)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.
>>7135141>international version of WeiboQRD? sounds like either an 'all-in-one' or something that connects all the different sites.
>>7135288I 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.>"Waaaah people can say nigger on twitter again! my eyes!"was that ever disallowed?
>>7136980Look 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
>>7135403we 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 artistsThe 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.

>>7134533None 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.
>>7134528Almost 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
>>7137978It's a system problem like that autist say two post backThe 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
>>7134528ignore 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
