“Price should probably be ~$2/month, but paid 12 months up front & account doesn’t get checkmark for 60 days (watch for CC chargebacks) & suspended with no refund if used for scam/spam,” he said.

“And no ads. “Twitter is dependent on advertising dollars to survive, and this will increase the power corporations have to dictate policy,” he said.
