    There are apps and websites for the reader mode option already, but it’s a great option. the bookmark folder option is great for dedicated users like myself. The colour theme is meh I guess. The customer support is the best feature of all. That’ll really help the business side of Twitter. The locked replies to the original as opposed to the edited tweet is Russian roulette, but I’m here for it 😈😈😈, imagine seeing a celeb back pedal in real time 😂

    Get Lost! You can still edit posts on Facebook YEARS after you posted it.

      June 3, 2021 at 11:17 pm

      Exactly AND still view the edit history via the little “edited” tag.

    They should have made it free

  5. Nope

    June 3, 2021 at 10:47 pm

    Imagine paying to download Twitter just so you can undo a tweet , what a scam…

    Dumb service lol. Edit option would’ve been the key seller

  7. Efon Ekpo

    June 3, 2021 at 10:50 pm

    How about a feature that says ‘This tweet has been edited, view the original tweet *here*?

    • PimpTwzt

      June 3, 2021 at 11:16 pm

      Facebook allows editing posts and has a small “edited” tag where you can view the past versions of the post. Why Twitter can not do the same is beyond me. This guys example is a dumb excuse because Twitter can do what FB does or what you suggested.

      Great idea
      You should apply to work there lmao

    none of those features seem worth the money

  9. Corey Sturgeon

    June 3, 2021 at 11:02 pm

    Bruh if I’m paying for this I should get no ads.

  10. C. Paul Courtney

    June 3, 2021 at 11:03 pm

    Why aren’t these options available in the free version? That would increase installs. Will they ever be available in the free version? Are people paying for the privilege to be beta testers?

    Twitter and Facebook are apps I’ve personally banned out of my life. those apps are a waste of life

    Still no option to edit a tweet after it’s been sent, so what’s the point? Oh, you can “undo” a tweet. Wow, from my experience with the app, that was always an option to “delete/undo” a tweet. Twitter is just trying to play people like their stupid, and guess what? They’ll still end up winning and people will still pay for the subscription. 🤡🤦‍♂️

      June 3, 2021 at 11:18 pm

      Gmail has that feature for free for years now. When you send an email you have 30 seconds to unsend.. because it just takes 30 seconds to send after you clicked send. lol

  13. Julian Greig

    June 3, 2021 at 11:16 pm

    Thank you

  14. WarziKage

    June 3, 2021 at 11:17 pm

    So it’s like gmail’s undo button, but for 4.99/mo?

  15. Joshua Lawrence

    June 3, 2021 at 11:20 pm

    Hopefully QoL tools like reader mode does eventually come to the full platform after about a year or so

  16. Jason Mills

    June 3, 2021 at 11:21 pm

    Not worth the money, these features should be free

  17. John Greene

    June 3, 2021 at 11:27 pm

    A subject filter, no politics no religion.

  18. MataNataM

    June 3, 2021 at 11:28 pm

    This is the lamest subscription service excuse ever.
    For the same price you can got a whole another Twitter client with a 1 time purchase

    wtf

  20. jgigna

    June 4, 2021 at 12:10 am

    Wtf… Charging people to be able to edit a tweet is BS, and y’all didn’t even kill the ads for paying users…. NOPE… PASS!

    my cousin is glad they disabled her why they don’t like free speech, and she did try to get back on but they said no quarter and I heard several famous people and several YT’s and big corporations have closed their Twitter accounts so I figure they have wised up but they should close out their Facebook next.

  25. Misunderstood Autistic Savant

    I would like it if they made a plugin for Adobe Lightroom Classic that allowed users not only use the meta data and keywording in the program to auto generate a draft Tweet/Post and keeps track of which photos you have Tweeted/Posted in the past.

  26. JF

    One of the stupidest things ive seen in recent years

  28. Zui TV

  29. Endeavourist

    The Canadian English speller in me appreciates Twitter’s example.

  30. Kevin Sheppard

    Save for the dedicated support, All of these features sound like they should be standard in Twitter right now.

    Seems like one could do many of these things as an approximation with a Chrome Plugin…

    Twitter Blue sounds stupid , how about fix the original this is not needed

  47. Scott Covert

    June 4, 2021 at 1:15 pm

    If we have to pay Twitter to manage our lack of self-control, then Twitter understands it’s market base a little too well.

    • iyaz akhtar

      Funny and sad at the same time. Well done!

  48. Tim
