Musings and Elucidations

I forgot that I can’t take a Twitter break

Tuesday, June 20, 2023


This technically doesn’t count as a Twitter post  because I have my blog programmed to automatically tweet whenever I create a blog post but that notwithstanding, it just dawned on me that even though I’m in the midst of a Twitter break where I haven’t tweeted in x amount of days, I’m not allowed to be doing this. 

The reason I’m not allowed is because I PAY for Twitter. I sorta forgot that. It makes zero sense to NOT tweet when you’re paying a monthly fee TO tweet. Or at least have more posting options than people that aren’t subscribers. 

I guess Elon might say I’m paying a monthly fee for more than just being able to edit tweets but as of yet I’ve seen no other real benefit I’m getting out of it. 

An alternative to tweeting just because I don’t wanna feel like I’m wasting money is canceling my Blue subscription. After doing another dive into what I’m getting for Blue and finding that the only thing it seems they’ve added since I started paying for the dumb check mark is the ability to edit tweets for an hour now instead of 30 minutes canceling seems like a good idea. 

It’s not like I can’t re-subscribe if they actually come up with some features that make it worthwhile later. 

Anyway. Good talk, Rusty. Have a great week!
