    Why does he think these desperate attempts to drive people to twitter blue won’t just make them leave instead? Just go ahead and make it a subscription only site and see what happens.

      Because the short-term equation is easy:

      Would you rather have 10 users paying nothing but taking up server space and bandwidth? Or would you prefer 1 paying user and 9 people leaving? In the short term, option B is a win-win.

      And if that leads to Twitter becoming a dead husk of itself, oh well, that’s a problem for next quarter
