how to make people even more angry with Twitter: Allow us to tip the "Promoted" tweets so you don't see them again. You're welcome (sorry)

They know there will be an uproar if they take a cut today. But once everyone is used to using it they'll introduce their cut and make money. Like when instagram started they promised they'd have no ads
It's shit like this that makes me wish people would switch to Mastodon, but it won't happen because the "big names" aren't on there. Wil Wheaton tried, but got bombarded with an endless slew of "Shut the fuck up Wesley" until he quit. The cynic in me thinks this could have been a coordinated effort by Twitter to try to keep people from leaving for greener pastures, but that's probably just my tinfoil hat showing.
It's much more likely that Mastodon is just full of the sort of people who get kicked off all the centralised platforms.

#43How do they avoid giving 30% to Apple? I guess there's a carve-out for P2P cash, like Venmo? Is this why they're not taking a cut?
3.2.1.vii Apps may enable individual users to give a monetary gift to another individual without using in-app purchase, provided that (a) the gift is a completely optional choice by the giver, and (b) 100% of the funds go to the receiver of the gift. However, a gift that is connected to or associated at any point in time with receiving digital content or services must use in-app purchase.

This will eventually lead to crypto donations. They're Trojan-horsing that in eventually is my prediction.
Re: Tip Jar
#45Somebody has mentioned this about Patreon before. But couldn't a drug dealer now just sign up to Twitter and get Tips from their customers instead of cash?
A drug dealer could also get cheese from their customers instead of cash. Would that make sense? About as much as using twitter tips, I guess.

How do you respond to the fact that development of the feature was led and announced by a woman?
But she's no true woman! Admittedly, this reply is tongue-in-cheek because I'm amused at how positively bizarre this subthread is.
I mean I have to eat my hat for sure.
I should have not have just trusted the parent comment and just looked at how it worked. I wrongly assumed it was some account setting like “enable tips” and then it walks you through a PayPal setup and then suddenly millions of people are going to be unwittingly exposing their address to strangers potentially without knowing and with no alternative except to not accept payments. It’s literally just a way to add tip links to your profile which is way more benign.

Please don't do this here.

To be fair, I thought it worked the way you described it too, and was aghast at how anyone could have thought this was a good idea, man or woman.

Sorry, I explained myself more under the sibling's reply. The way I understood it seemed such a gross vulnerability that it should have sounded terrible to either gender, but apparently the actual feature is much more tame.
Re: Tip Jar
#50> Tip Jar is an easy way to support the incredible voices that make up the conversation on Twitter.
The conversation is mostly snarkiness and trolling. I really hope we don't start rewarding that with cash.
