My employer was looking into testing advertising on Twitter, and the $1000 cost to entry was a hard stop on that. Seems like a very poor policy.
Sounds a lot like a protection racket ...
i guess you can call that… Xtortion
All this will do is change the spam vector from paid ads injected into your feed, to self-promoting tweets in the comments section, where $8 blue checks get top blling.
From 8 to 1000... that's quite the jump.
I noticed today that the X logo is very, very similar to the Xs in Forever 21’s store signage (“XXI Forever”).

I guess this makes Elon’s company Forever 10? Which kind of tracks...
"We'd hate something bad to happen to your business...I'm sure there's a way you can make sure that doesn't happen...". So basically they're adopting the Yelp playbook.
X tells advertisers to spend $1k per month to not have their ads placed next to open anti-Semites, fascists, anti-vax conspiracies, unless Elon Musk posts or retweets them, or decides to not pay the bills.
Got my popcorn right here...
What is with this obsession over bots? If anything, a horde of bots that seem identical to humans could be a good way of artificially boosting metrics, and it's not even illegal because Twitter didn't create or encourage people to create these bots.
The spam in my timeline and likes from obvious bots is magnitudes higher than even a few months ago.
So I’m not sure why advertisers would want to increase spend there
