A certain percentage of users will pay for sure, and so, sadly, this is a sure winner.

I wish they had become paid services for everybody. That would have been more fun to watch.

This looks aimed at influencers at first. The only feature touted is more data about viewers and followers.

If it were a non-horrible version of social media, maybe. I get the feeling it will be just the same with more data to target your herd (sorry, "followers").

No doubt.

Whatsapp used to be a paid app.
