I am off FB

I am fine paying Elon $8 a month for a more open, level playing field on Twitter. An open Digital Commons is important..

Not me, I have a huge problem paying the richest person in the world for anything. He has single handedly ruined Twitter

Social media in general has lost its appeal to me

I'm with you. And it's a scam. At least half of the blue check accounts are bots. I see tweets day after day that would have been posted in the 0-dark thirty hours in North America, but at mid morning in Moscow or in St. Petersburg (I'm in the same time zone, after all). Twitter does next to no vetting of verification account requests.

And his explanation of what the problem was is total BS---it was due to him not paying Google and Amazon cloud hosting fees when they were due on 30 June.
