So…wait…

On an app whose primary source of revenue is ADVERTISING, he has decided to limit people’s use unless they pay a fee?

In an era when people pay fees to SKIP ads…he’s doing…the opposite?

He isn't doing it as part of some plan. He is doing it because they have lost billions in revenue from all of the huge advertisers that pulled the plug on running ads on a platform full of bots and hate. He literally has no other choice.
