In this episode, we discuss the recent introduction of Twitter Blue, a paid subscription service that offers users additional features such as an undo button, bookmark folders, and more.

Some users, such as I, have criticised the reaction of some blue-tick celebrities who have denigrated genuine people and threatened to block paid ticks.

I left Twitter and podcasts years ago to raise an adopted family. I recently returned and repurposed this account to launch a new podcast. I joined Twitter Blue just days before Elon Musk removed the tick from celebrities and I am frustrated with those who are upset about losing that privileged blue tick, and the #blocktheblues movement. It is damaging because it will not change the fact Twitter Blue exists, celebrities never had much more than a tick and now they have additional features of Blue, and I know that the blocking movement to block the right, will supress the left who want reach, and therefore leave the left in an echo chamber.
