Idea for Twitter/FC Charge based on # of followers Up to 10k followers - free up to 100k - $100 / month up to 1M - $10,000 / month Every 10x in follower count, 100x the price Thoughts?

hmmm, how about income percentage as it justifies paying much better. if my shitposting account blows up, i dont want to pay to keep it up. I want probably would demand payment for my contributions to the apps content.

I doubt million follower accounts would want to pay. They do a lot of hard work marketing their brand and creating good content and the reward is pay Twitter more money? Twitter should be paying content creators. Not the other way around.

Interesting idea. If social graph is decentralized / on the protocol — what happens when another client decides “your margin is my opportunity?” Charging on follow count seems a bit more like tax instead of a fee for value / utility provided. Open to disagreement

Think it should be the reverse, users which best retain monetizable DAU should be getting paid by Twitter. Otherwise they are more likely to direct their followers to other mediums they can better monetize and create less on Twitter.

I don’t believe in charging based on the number of followers But I do believe there is a potential model that charges for managing and helping you market to those followers It’s like don’t charge me for the size of my email list, charge me when you help me get biz from it

I don’t like the model for various reasons But I has questions first for @kylesamani 1. Do you imagine user can stop allowing new followers if they don’t want to pay more? 2. Could my bots all mass follow you and make you pay more?

Seems like you’d just be incentivizing the popular people to direct their followers to another platform

Won’t the Amps delta rollout render this linear follower-based rev model moot anyway? @v @dwr.eth

I can see the logic in this, but not a huge fan of it tbh. It assumes users with large scale follower bases are monetizing that audience. Which may be true in many circumstances but imo the app rev model shouldn’t assume that

a) cliffs are bad. a smooth function (eg mailgun) would have better incentives but more importantly b) managing how many followers you have and who they are would be a very different dynamic than (I think) FC is going for

Building a following requires work and makes a positive contribution to the network by creating engagement. Feels counterproductive to tax that and as a result disincentivize it. If anything people with large followings that generate engagement should be paid for their work!

I think if you garner a large following, you’ve invested in the app to a great degree and provided said app with a ton of value (aka content) Counter productive to charge people for making that investment
