I wish I could remember where I saw this to credit (and not paraphrase), but I saw a tweet which said, basically: "Twitter somehow got Stephen King, Taylor Swift and thousands of others to produce content for them for free. And now they want to lose them over $20/month?"



> Twitter somehow got Stephen King, Taylor Swift and thousands of others to produce content for them for free

That's true, but for very small values of "produce content". After all, being rude or posting hot-takes in 140 characters has limited utility outside of your cohort of fans/friends.


Posting tweets may be lame, but it is also the entire value of Twitter!
