You can tell it's getting tight out here, even for tech people. When hardcore open source people have to get salaried jobs. No offense to anyone involved here. I'm not judging anybody. I just wanna call out that these things are almost always driven by economics.

If every account followed by @verified subscribes b/c of this shakedown, that's $26M/year. Musk owes $1B/year in interest. Not sure this is the magical solution. (And the risk of chasing verified users off the platform and confusing everyone seems.... not worth $26M/year.)

This falls in line with my theory that Musk bought Twitter punitively because he was humiliated here by powerful influencers. So what's the first thing he does? He makes those influential users bend the knee and pay him to retain their power. If they refuse, then they lose it.

Twitter was somewhat famous for slow product rollouts, but often because they went to the extreme to test and consider what might go wrong. It appears they're moving to the opposite extreme. Also, this management style is how you drive away any good engineer.
