    I thought twitter blue or "x premium" was the answer to the bots problem?

    Maybe he should spend some time testing features to see if they have the results he expects before implementing them on a whim.

    Though, on the other hand, I think he is right in that a subscription fee would probably end bots, for the simple reason that it will end the platform itself.

    It's a bit of a shame though, I wonder where the OF creators will go; maybe back to Tumblr?

    Right. I'll go on the record early here.

    No, Twitter is not moving to monthly subs for access.
