I don’t get all complaining about Twitter moving to a subscription model. Assume it’s mostly Elon bad, so new thing Elon does is bad.

The product will improve if the default experience is you only see subscribers.

I wish it was tried by someone else or better rolled out because I believe tiered pricing can work. 

There needs to be more thought about the pricing structure and the product value prop however. Some ads and 8$/month for my 500 followers/following is silly

Interesting first question because “no”. So it’s a weird mind categorization indeed.

As I said I think it’s possible, just needs (much) better execution.

Do you think a newspaper subscription is worth $8 a month?

Agree with you on the still showing you ads despite being a subscriber is dumb. Charge a bit more and make it ad free (I suspect the advertisers will be less interested if the type of people who will become subscribers won't see it).
