Another Twitter Blue push that's definitely unwelcome
According to Elon Musk, Twitter is still seeing negative cash flow, “due to a drop in advertising revenue” - and that might explain the platform's new hard, desperate push to get more users to sign up for a Twitter Blue subscription.
We’re still negative cash flow, due to ~50% drop in advertising revenue plus heavy debt load. Need to reach positive cash flow before we have the luxury of anything else.Twitter began rolling out new settings for direct messages, adding a third option to the normal ‘let everyone message me’ or ‘only let users I follow message me’. The existing options meant you had complete control over who contacts you and who you want to keep in contact with.
Under the new default settings, anyone paying $8 per month for Twitter Blue can send you a message - regardless of whether you actually know them. Your DMs are divided into two inboxes: a primary one and a secondary, ‘message request’ inbox. Most messages from non-followers go straight into your request box, so if the DM message button is enabled on your account, messages from non-followers go there. when subscribed to Twitter Blue. So, even if you don’t normally have your DMs set to ‘open’, Twitter blue users will still be able to hit you up.
