Sigh, this seems to be another "we had no women on our team" situation. This was a question asked on Twitter before even trying the feature. People impacted by this issue know it's a possible problem. Twitter really should've done better here.
Why would you need women for that? Anyone could have told you that this was a bad thing.
Because relatively it impacts non-men more. Anyone interested in privacy would point it out, but not everyone has incentives to think about privacy in every situation.

Re: Tip Jar
#25I think it’s quite smart to launch this sans-crypto to avoid headlines, ensure the feature works well and is received well, and then add additional payment methods weeks or months later. I do wonder if this hurts or helps twitter as a product tho - I can’t say I’ve been enjoying the recent “only so-and-sos friends can reply to this post” trend. But now we will see very popular tweets with no discussion allowed that i…
There are plenty of uses for Twitter unrelated to debate or discussion. Sharing news, building a community, posting about your day, etc.

So people can get a $30 fee to tip $1?
Re: Tip Jar
#27how 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)

#28Apparently if you send someone a tip with this they get your mailing address as part of the receipt. https://twitter.com/racheltobac/status/1390409874006183936 This is a PayPal issue, but Twitter are responding by adding a warning so people know it will happen: https://twitter.com/kayvz/status/1390423761183117312 ?

You surely don’t think that actual dollars settle every time you pay with a credit card, Venmo, or PayPal? You realize that settlement takes weeks?
Micro-paying with Bitcoin on a centralized platform like PayPal is essentially the same as dollars. Final settlement in BTC can come later when someone wants to withdraw their balance.

Women are much more likely to be aware of the pretty serious risk of somebody being able to easily attain your address. I think it's a fair statement
