@Kortney the sad thing is, I bet a lot (A LOT!) of people would be okay with voluntarily kicking in a buck or two to twitter, a lot like a Patreon thing. Given they have millions of users and only a ~$100k/yr loss, I think they could cover it. That's only 8k monthly $1 donations. Pretty sure they'd surpass it by a lot. And then they'd be accountable to users, too, not just advertisers.

@Kortney but I know voluntary donations don't look great to investors or stockholders, and even if you make a profit on them, you're not gonna build that into mega-money Fortune 500 Superbowl ad revenue levels of profit, which is apparently the only thing worth doing anymore, so good luck
