Isn't this a complete waste of money? With all the thousands of ways to make a video/audio call for free, who would want to pay a subscription for that? Both parties need to be subscribed too, the user pool is extra small. A troll doesn't have friends to call, what's the purpose of this?

It seems like Twitter is really trying to find a value-add for Twitter Blue, but I can't see this enticing anyone.

What is the overlap between people you met on Twitter that you want to have a video call with that you don't trust with your phone number/ other contact information?

This feels especially value-less when you remember you would only be able to call people who are also Twitter Blue subscribers (approximately 1 in 550).

Ahh, Google's tried and true method of throwing a million half-baked features to people before promptly cancelling them all. This will definitely work for them.

Awesome, eXTwitter is on the cutting edge of 10 years ago.

Just make it all paid only and kill it once and for all…

ah yes, free speech for everyone

oh good, that means checkmarks won’t be able to harass normies that way, I approve.

Well, I guess it's better than trying to paywall stuff that was previously available.

Also don't think X calls would be worth using free, let alone for a fee, so we'll see how that goes.

What is the real game here? Is this dude legit trying to destroy this company on purpose. He's gotta be, right? Like he's quite clearly a weirdo, but he's not a moron.
