Is there a social media platform you won't join no matter what?

They enable you to have a higher word count limit, but it’s only available for paid subscribers.

It’s one of the main things that annoys me the most about the platform.

Bluesky and Threads both have a higher default post count limit than Twitter’s default.

They've made it a social media platform where only those who are able to get the blue tick can be able to enjoy the benefits that come with it. The reality of the matter is that it is not supposed to be so.

I agree. I don’t see the benefit of purchasing the blue check on Twitter. I enjoy social media, but I’d rather post longer texts on a forum than deal with the subscription stuff. Honestly, I’m don’t Twitter’s subscription model as something that’s beneficial. The blue check used to mean something as only a few could get it years ago. But now, it’s easier to get, and it doesn’t feel as significant anymore.

I see those who buys the blue tick as those who doesn't know what they will do with money. It is just a total waste of money for me.

I also don't subscribe to the Twitter subscription model because I don't like it. Perhaps, the platform does not give you the freedom to express yourself, so why pay for the blue tick? I prefer to use the forum and blogging sites more.

I haven't seen any social media that I wouldn't play with but the blue tick feature of Twitter doesn't sit well with me and that it could be a turn off.

A lot of people have been complaining of the blue tick feature on Twitter. It doesn't sit well with a couple of persons who are looking to have a good time being on Twitter and I hope the decision is being looked into.

It's an annoying thing to do because what for? This was like that even before Elon Musk took over ownership of X. I get they need to make money but shorthanding users on post limit is cruel.

The character limit (140) was in place prior to Musk. However, requiring a higher post limit by paying for it was introduced by Musk, which I don’t agree with either. It’s cruel, especially when it comes to community building. The limit was increased to 280 back in 2017, but now subscribers get a character limit of 4k, with some tiers going up to 25k.


That subscription model didn’t exist under the previous ownership.


A lot of the new changes relating to subscriptions and posting limits were Musk’s doing. Twitter originally started as a short-form social media site (140 characters) as a mini microblogging site. It wasn’t designed to be anything more than that by Jack Dorsey, which is probably why he created Bluesky using the same foundation that Twitter was built on.

To be honest here, the X blue tick has been polarizing and generating different opinions. Some people see it as a status symbol that gives them recognition on the platform while others see it as unnecessary. It's even annoying to some people.

Elon Musk money mongering with Twitter/X is what's going give Bluesky more push to close up the gap on X's growth as quickly as possible. I expected Musk to try and profit from owning X but it's moving too crazy with it.
