People all wanted something for nothing, I am the same. Lots of us have gotten used to getting content for free or having ad-blockers to make things "free". The ideal of paying for something is lost on the FB/Insta/TikTok generation.
Having a subscription / RC model works well as a barrier to entry, but the content needs be worthwhile. Fingers crossed that Twitter persists with the subscription model and that weeds out the trolls.
