Well that's just capitalism, you give you're free users a way in to get them hooked but not as noticed as those that pay cash. The only difference is before they did it under the table, Elon is just being upfront and telling you pay $8 and you get a boost.
Which I prefer, if you want my money be upfront, tell me what I get and you might get it, trying to guilt me by exclusion or that I need to make up for ancestors just pisses me off.
Obviously disagree, but I like the sentiment. If they ever go along with Jack's idea of making twitter a protocol instead of a platform, that will go a long way towards creating a true Internet public square.
Elon hasn't said anything in this regard recently, but I'm guessing he wants to secure twitter's place as the dominant social media network first before any "expansion through dilution" can start.
Where the hell do you live where you'd trust the government to have total control over the public forum? I cannot think of a single government in human history I would trust with that power.
