  Add lootboxes and timers.

  If you don’t pay to post, there’s a 50% chance of your post getting deleted after anyone sees it. Pay some money to get more favorable odds. Oh, but you don’t but that stuff with money. You gotta use xitter turds first that, and some times you can get those from xitter boxes. In order to buy the lootboxes, you have to spend real money.

  If you haven’t bought any lootboxes in a month, xitter will take control of your account and start automatically posting flat earth nazi crypto trash.

    And if a post goes viral you have to pay to not have its visibility restricted

      And when Xitter starts posting NFT trash in your name, you can restrict the spread of those posts by spending some Xitter Turds, which you can get from the lootboxes.

      Oh and the cooldown timers! After every post, you have to wait 24 hours, but you can cut that wait in half by spending some Xitter Turds again. Let men tell you, it’s going to be unlike any service before it. EA and Ubisoft have so much to learn here.

        And you can ask your fans to spend gems to remove obnoxious ads from your profile

  Pretty much. 1usd per bot I’d a small price for maintaining a bot farm.

  Or do they plan on banning accounts that use the same billing info? If CNN or BBC pay for their employees accounts, would they get banned?
