Will the changes at Twitter convince you to buy Twitter Blue
Recently Elon announced that starting next month only Twitter Blue subscribers will be eligible to be featured in the for you page and vote in polls.
Will this convince you to buy Twitter Blue if you haven't already?

For me, I'd have to say no. I've made an effort to cut back on subscriptions I don't need / don't provide enough value, I don't care enough about the features or Twitter in general to buy it, so I'm considering just deleting instead.
It actually made me by Twitter Blue. The main reasons were that without the blue your tweets weren't amplified as much. Also when you are playing the engagement game your tweets are priority which makes it easier for you to get impressions and hopefully followers..
@tunc_emran Interesting perspective! Did you find a big engagement increase?
@mirena_vasileva pretty much. But keep in mind this is done to mess with the bots. Now ai tools can even pass captcha and the only way to get out of the trap is to make it very expensive for the bot handlers.
Short answer is no and I'm trying to get out of Twitter. I'm searching for a new engaged and large community built around thought sharing and that is on the upward trend. Any recommendations?
@mehdi_rifai I think more niche communities are about to have their moment in the spotlight.
@mehdi_rifai @aaronoleary The challenge is that there are already too many communities which fragment your potential audience in potentially dozens of places.
@aaronoleary @growmap the fragmentation makes it super hard to manage your audiences. We spend hours a day managing that
No, way too late for this and to be honest, Twitter never was too popular outside the US, not to mention all the drama and things you don't really want to be part of.
@chris_sarca I think for a lot of people, it's a productivity killer. I mean even if you zone in on the best timeline possible it still sucks you away from what's actually important.
I don't have a Twitter account. I have used the platform but don't particularly like it as I feel that it's more suitable for people who are already famous or atleast semi-famous or a business with a big market. (This is definitely in comparison with other SM)
@karanphougat Twitter is a platform that favors celebrities, but I think it's a great place for new accounts to start and grow. If you include keywords that people are curious about or search for a lot, you'll start to get some traction!
@rishabhravindran Have you ever used it to increase your initial reach? I'm curious to see how effective it is.
absolutely not worth it, all a massive scam just keep posting and stay true and consistent
While the call is strong, I believe your content should speak for your profile, blue tick or otherwise. So a no for me.
@aaronoleary I de-platformed from most social media - Twitter, Facebook, Instagram - three years ago. My life has been so much calmer and more productive since! I now choose where I put my online time and energy very carefully. I am new to Product Hunt, but I see you build great community. Thank You! No going back for me.
Maybe the answer would be yes if I were a bigger organisation or influencer. Twitter is designed for content/news generators.
I know that at the end, as it always happens, we will get used to it, but meanwhile, I don´t like at all the changes that are been made on Twitter.
I don't believe being featured in the for you page or voting in polls is worth the cost of a Twitter Blue subscription. Twitter should not limit features based on payment.
I feel surprised to say yes. The main reason being that twitter is a large part of how we get customers for evoke-app.com, so more outreach is important
