It takes away power. Doesn't matter if 1/2 still use ads. Paying users can then exert power over Twitter as well.
It's not the crazy harrassign me. It's the crazy doing an end run around me and leveraging the choke point of advertising, where several thousand nasty emails and phone calls are enough to get most all advertisers to say anything to stop the pain. I don't have to deal with it.
Now I also have a painpoint to infect damages against Twitter if I choose. That takes monetary commitment.
A more balanced future is where crazy exert pressure on advertisers, and customers exert pressure on twitter. The advertisers give in, twitter and advertisers lose. Advertisers start realizing its a lose lose and all the boycotts are fake anyway as online lynch mobs don't purchase their products anyway.
Hopefully, after all that pain, we can get back to live and let live. Because the alternative is a dual economy where everyone loses.
As for dailystormer, that's just an example. And a repugnant one that got me lots of down votes. Oh well, such is intolerance ;)
