That is, I understand the motivations here, but I'd rather top up a diverse global influencer than prop up a US media corporation. https://twitter.com/...

I just signed up for Twitter Blue for the Nuzzel-like feature and for the 20-second ‘undo’ feature. I think of it as paying $3 a month for the reputational insurance. https://twitter.com/...

PSA: You're not actually editing/undoing tweets. The tweet never sent. It's a hoax 😅 But some of the other Twitter Blue features like customizing the Twitter icon and reorganizing the UI are kinda cool ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://twitter.com/...

For all the issues I have with Twitter, it's still the social network that works best for me. So yah, don't mind paying a bit for a slightly better app. Wish it would remove Twitter ads entirely though https://twitter.com/...

Might sign up just to get rid of seeing ads. I do the same thing with YouTube premium, if I'm going to spend so much of my life on this website might as well not get bombarded by ads. https://twitter.com/...

@Techmeme @jaypeters ahh, I forgot how much i missed Nuzzel, so nice to have it back. It's a “top” list that's 100x more relevant to you than “What's happening"/Trending, and can be thought of as sort of a super-evolved RSS reader. Ad-free articles — also very much appreciated. E…

1/5. Of course, no more typos. Love the ability to decide how long before your tweet self-destructs. https://twitter.com/...

at first i thought the “Twitter” is being used as a noun here, so it read as “Twitter Blue is making Twitter harder” and got kind of confused 🙈 https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

Twitter figured out the one feature to get me to pay money to access this service. No longer will I be able to say I can't believe this app is free. https://twitter.com/...

Twitter Blue subscription service launches for U.S. users. This is a huge deal, but it depends on which pubs are accessible this way. https://www.cnbc.com/...

Update on Impression 1.5: I LOVE “Send Now”. It's the UI/UX equivalent of “Ship It”. This is great. I forcefully push it when I'm ready to go with my quick proof read.

How is undoing any functionally different than deleting? Ridiculous feature and Twitter isn't worth paying for. https://twitter.com/...

This is not tweets but editable. @TwitterBlue seems nice, but I'm not convinced it's $2.99/month nice. (When you tweet, the undo button is not 100% the first thing you see after you hit send, eg if you're on the replies screen. beware lol) https://www.theverge.com/... https://twi…
