Disagree. Twitter doesn't make money by itself and has to rely on investment or donations to actually generate profit. This is something they've probably had in the works for a long time because of the platform/publisher debate and censorship but hadn't implemented for fear of losing a big chunk of their userbase.
Now that Twitter has been kicking off all the 'controversial' voices, anyone left will probably be less adverse to paying a subscription to see responses from their chosen blue checker and Twitter gets a little cut from the revenue.
And this might prevent people from archiving potentially embarrassing moments from leftists.
I figure it's Jack & Co. seeing all the money OnlyFans is raking in and then doing whatever they can to get in on a cut of that action. As an added bonus, this lets the leftists screech from behind their (pay)walled garden and talk shit about anyone and everyone they choose, forcing an inability to quote-tweet or screenshot their tantrums and stupidity without paying them (and Twitter) for the privilege. I predict there will be expansion among the blue-check brigade as they revel in their newfound power, at least until there is blowback on them for charging the "underprivileged" followers that can't afford a subscription.
Both, all the censorship and banning significantly cuts down their userbase without a doubt but they're still doing well enough since there's no real alternative.
Well, there goes onlyfans.
Right Wing Tax Squad vs Thots

Serious question. Jack Dorsey is a slippery reprobate.

Gab is a perfectly functional alternative to twitter, it just doesn't have critical mass to kill twitter.
Too bad it's run by tradcons that think like boomers.
However right now it's the only semi-popular stopgap we got.
Minds has no content restrictions.
It's literally the best alternative.
I doubt any website which doesn't need additional income will consider something which flies in the face of their own premise so readily.
I wonder what twitter's cut of these will be.
I hope twitter Dies.
No one's going to do this except simps and thots.
I think you greatly underestimate how many thots and simps are out there.
Twitter is endorsed and propped up by the state, it will only continue to expand so long as that relationship continues
Twitter is such a font of wisdom and profundity, I simply MUST pay to see what my favourite bluechecks have to say!
I'm just gonna leave this here:
