Omo, see beta business strategy! Opens the door, charge people almost nothing to enter, then they get high inside and can't leave, then pay higher to remain inside. If you want a free verified status, go to Koo. If it is still up and running, that is. Let your fans follow you there.
Seun are you thinking what I'm thinking? Sell Nairaland for me now pls. All these tribal bigots and insultive posts will come at a heavy cost. I won't even ban anybody. To post memes lasan, is 200 naira.

it will shock you how nairaland will fall.

Lol

When I said Elon musk taking over Twitter isn’t a good idea because I was sure he would MONETIZE it as a business man, and that exactly what’s happening.

Isn't a good idea how exactly? Is Twitter a charity organisation?, or is a business organisation not supposed to be profitable??

I don't understand how they are supposed to hold on to current employees and create new jobs without a profit, it's this freebe mentality that has led to collapse in productivity and businesses perpetually dependent on patronage and at the mercy of its patrons.

And I just started using Twitter, this man too like money, yet he's not satisfied.

This thread is about tweeter, please try to keep it at that. We need sanity on this forum.

Does this mean that anyone, even if you are not a celebrity or influencer, you can get the blue mark as long as you can pay $20 monthly. If it's so, turning the blue symbol to premium subscription will rubbish it's prestige.

prestige can be bought anyways, money can buy you respect, VIP spaces. Though $20 might be too cheap for this

SMJay:
Expect better services $20*800= =N=16,000 i.e about half of the minimum wage

After I m verified I change my name to a crypto celebrity and run them a double your crypto scam.


This guy just one give yahoo boys work

Many of them are using domiciliary account thy can pay directly instead of the black market dollars exchange rate

wink2015:
$20 dollars is a big money in Nigeria going by the exchange rate of N700 to a $1.

Many Nigerian will run away from the monthly subscription by closing their account.

They will go for facebook, whatsapp, instagram, snapchat, tiktok

Lol.
Nice one from Elon.

They will all pay.
$20 should not be too much for those verified.
And most people will pay anything to make them feel amongst the elites in lthe social media space i

RichDad1:
Twitter can charge verified accounts £100/month and guys will still pay…because If there’s anything I’ve learnt from Social media…People will pay ANY amount as long as they’re classified differently and appear to be in a higher class!!

On point! All BBNaija halfbaked celebrities would pay and brag about it.

KingOvo:
I'll always find it funny when ordinary people think Elon represents the interest of the common people. Elon is a capitalist and the only thing that matters to him is profit. He'll only align with you if it's profitable to him. nothing more.

Is there anything wrong in that? He paid 44b is no child's play.

If true, good. If untrue, good. E no comot nor add one naira to my pocket.

people go japa from twitter. musk don smoke guava and him 44 billion dey go down the drain

lomprico:


Try it and watch nairaland die slowly. Another programmer will create a new site that gives up what we enjoy on nairaland now and there will be mass migration.

But Alas, it's not so practical. Nairaland has built reputation and followership over the years that will take a lot from hard work to get such recognition from a new programmer. It's not just about graphical interface and premium features for free.
If not that Seun is always on Twitter fighting with everybody, if he continued with the same tempo here he started with, we will have Nairaland at top 10 websites in the world now.

I’m thinking twitter is going to be a ghost town soon

Many Nigerians?
Are many Nigerians VERIFIED on twitter?
Is $20 a month too big for VERIFIED Nigerians to pay?
Do you know what it means to be VERIFIED on twitter?
Do you know the category of people that are VERIFIED on twitter?

Lmao

quentin06:
Yap, I said it! Very soon we shall be paying monthly fees to use Twitter, Facebook and the likes.
Just as YouTube allowed free video downloads up till 2020, and stopped it, so shall all free content cease.

Probably paying monthly fees to breath oxygen in Nigeria, as some contractors on this forum already have the contract.

YouTube still allows free video downloads.

Imagine coming back to buy your original idea and then charging those who stole it premium haha

Who cares? Mostly dumb people use the shitty app anyway. Even if he and his fellow awon buy and run to the ground keeps on buying more companies, forums or social media apps, people will still make more.

Elon Musk

Let's see if Nigerians will bypass the payment like they did the access during the ban

Triangles1:
No be to leave Twitter for nah.

But Una dey pay for social media through daily or weekly or monthly subscription...get sense...if you don't want to pay for SM, then go and buy Nokia torchlight and stop disturbing the social space...

seanwilliam:
