Twitter Pay to Win?

Twitter has had a rough couple years compared to it’s rivals. The most interesting development this year is the $112 million dollar loss in Q2 of 2017. What do you do when your business is losing money? Convince your 300 million users to pay $3 a day for your otherwise free service. Twitter is currently testing out a $99/month promotion service that will activley promote your tweets and accounts. Basically legitimate botting. Pay us $99/month to grow on our platform. In essence, Twitter needs money. The cure? testing out a business package that will cost you $99/month. Pay it or fall behind.

In my opinion, Twitter is the social media alleyway. The place you go to score traffic, but would be afraid to stay after dark. Twitter is just a hair above Reddit when it comes to internet negativity. Not a place for the weak of heart. This in addition to bots, retweeters, buying followers etc… is why a lot of people don’t embrace the platform. Instagram is full of motivation, self worth and colourful imagery, Facebook is home to your hip grandma and friends from high school. Twitter is full of people who have strong opinions.

Facebook is the tried and true, Instagram is the hotness, Snapchat is the girl next door and Twitter is the annoying kid in class playing the devils advocate.
