Agreed, same here. and if there is a difference I would never know and don't know what I'm mising (if anything). The features you get (longer tweets, NFT pic, etc) ain't worth much to me. I'm using "bird" as just another information source and if I find it valuable I will pay for it, until then I will enjoy "free ride" and to be honest it is not really free anyway, it takes my attention and time and that's a value for me. One can't make up time. Once again, you don't like it? Do not use it, simple as that, at least to me. Can't blame Elon for trying to get paid, it is a business after all. He is more right than he is wrong and that's enough for me to still listen (but not participate) Odell has a different goal than mine and I hear his point but I wouldn't take it too seriously. If Odell starts his own site, I would join and follow since he does have interesting info to share. Look at SN here, I like this model even better than "bird". This model shold be a standard if I had my vote. Peace out....
