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?

Good God, no.

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?
@aaronoleary @growmap the fragmentation makes it super hard to manage your audiences. We spend hours a day managing that

@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.

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.

@aaronoleary go for it!

I honestly just maintain my Twitter account (and app notifications) to keep up with a few select people that still use the platform.
I have no issue paying for Twitter Blue and I appreciate what Elon is doing for the company. It's less than a Starbucks cup of coffee, lol.

we pay for 2 twitter blue subscriptions from marketing budget for work.
and my bet is that blue checkmarks will soon be the sign that someone is on Twitter for work/business.
can't really think why anyone would pay for the subscription if they only use Twitter for personal use 🤷
No. Not at all. When they take away my legacy tick I won’t be paying.

I think nope in my opinion
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.
Blue is good for influencers not for entrepreneurs...

Maybe the answer would be yes if I were a bigger organisation or influencer. Twitter is designed for content/news generators.

I’m a sucker for a profile sticker! I’m in. 😂👍

I'm not that consistent on twitter. So purchasing blue for engagement will be useless for me.
But if I start posting consistently, I might try for one month and decide based on the results.

i think yes
While the call is strong, I believe your content should speak for your profile, blue tick or otherwise. So a no for me.

Honestly, I will only buy it when I have enough followers and there is a risk of someone impersonating me. :D
Definitely NO!
I think no aswell! althought i think the ROI might be quite good!
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
