    “What do you have to say to your advertisers?”

    ‘go fuck yourselves’

    ‘also we’re raising prices for an unrelated reason’

      “There’s kind of a lot of people leaving X lately. How do you intend to reinvigorate the user base?”

      ‘this calls for a price increase’

    So if you add 10 million more bots @ $22/a month that’s a lot of money laundering.

      This seems like the most likely intended consequence to me. They probably know their userbase well, and actual humans declining aren’t gonna be swayed to stay by a price hike. Those bots, on the other hand…

    I feel like the people who pay for Twitter are probably dumb enough to pay whatever price the muskrat wants, so why not make it $200 a month?
