In my experience, Twitter still works well with the following caveats:

1.Only use the "following" tab for general scrolling. Since this makes it difficult to see older tweets of people you follow:

2.Every once in a while, click on those who you consider your most important follows and scroll through a day or two's worth of tweets, and

3.Perform a search for companies in your portfolio or watchlist to find out what people are saying.

While the last search will turn up a lot of junk, it is relatively easy to scroll past that and find any tweets that may be of interest.

The cost of subscribing to Twitter is quite modest, but many people I've talked to won't do it because they don't want help Musk in any way.

I view it as it is the people who Tweet who make the platform. You want the more prominent people to be verified so they don't get impersonated as that would make the platform less reliable. It is absurd to make those providing the content for free, the content that make the platform valuable, by making them pay. Hell, the platform should be paying THEM for their content. In any event, the blue checkmark becomes useless when trolls and bots can pay to become legitimate.

I still go to Twitter but less often and mostly migrated to post.news

LeBron_James, NBA, 52_mill_followers, won’t_post anymore if he has to pay $8/month for his blue check mark.

Good job Elon. Do you really want people like this to leave Twitter while you try to nickel and dime them?

As far as I know, you will subject to the same number of ads even if you pay for the blue check mark.
