Warn Twitter Blue subscribers when they're being defrauded #1841

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Twitter Blue subscribers are told their tweets will be at the top of lists. That's not the case for most of them. In fact, Twitter Blue subscribers are as heavily censored as other users.

Describe the solution you'd like When a Twitter Blue subscriber tweets and the Twitter algorithm decides to censor that tweet, show a dialog box or similar letting the user know they were defrauded.

It didn't take long to find an example of how Twitter defrauds Twitter Blue subscribers. See the 'show more replies' section at /CAgovernor/status/1661839150646169601 (screenshot). Tweets in that section are censored, called "LowQuality" by Twitter. A Twitter Blue subscriber is in that section, below dozens of people that haven't paid Musk money.

I've filed a complaint with the FTC about Twitter's fraud. I urge others to do the same, contact class action lawyers to see if they'd be interested in taking action, and also wising up Twitter Blue subscribers to how they're being defrauded.

Get a life you loser.

Lucky us, we've had a visit from our local Musk fanboy. Let's see if we can help it try to make a valid argument for once.

What are the main reasons people sign up for Twitter Blue?

What does Twitter call the section after the 'show more replies' link?

I found a solution!

  1. Go to 𝕏.
  2. Go to account settings.
  3. Delete account.
  4. Create a account for Mastodon.
  5. Use Mastodon.

Why would anyone sign up for that pedo platform https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/24/twitter-rival-mastodon-rife-with-child-abuse-material-study-finds/
