@bcn_ajuntament así son calles peatonales 👌 (Carrer d'Alaba, 120)

@wallapop Why there is no option to select bulky shipping for strollers? I haven't seen a stroller smaller than 120cm on one of the sides.

@Glovo_ES since a while ago the restaurant menu in the Android app appears in English, this is very annoying. Could you please make this feature optional?

@bcn_ajuntament Carrer d'Alaba entre Carrer de Sancho de Ávila y Tánger. Este trozo está señalizado con señal circulación prohibida, pero cada día se cruzan miles de coches y motos.

@Paulofdutyy @wintonARK This is what it looks for us, but the real reason they have it is to help create "elite" club so people with checkmarks can talk among themselves while filtering out "the rest" -theverge.com/2013/9/13/4725…

Lords who have been knighted by the twitter verification wand are upset that the proles will be able to buy status

@EhneMSTCS @thanosmiss235 @BuyDOGEbro @wintonARK @elonmusk Now, yes, because there are few. But if majority gets verified the rest will be ignored. When you are verified you get a filter to see only tweets from verified accounts, so your tweets will literally disappear.

@sk9yy @thanosmiss235 @BuyDOGEbro @wintonARK @elonmusk I don't think that many people really care about verified/blue marks anyway. People read what catches their interest, verified or not. 😉

@Asher_Newbold @BuyDOGEbro @thanosmiss235 @htmayes @wintonARK @elonmusk But if Blue would have been just about not seeing ads it would have been fine. But the problem is that Blue implies my tweets not being visible.

@Asher_Newbold @BuyDOGEbro @thanosmiss235 @htmayes @wintonARK @elonmusk This example does not work because twitter is not free. We pay twitter by seeing ads, same on any other platform. If twitter would let us pay instead of seeing ads you will be paying $8 and i would still see ads.

@BuyDOGEbro @Asher_Newbold @thanosmiss235 @htmayes @wintonARK @elonmusk My point exactly. I'm excluded from conversation for not willing to pay.

@Asher_Newbold @thanosmiss235 @htmayes @BuyDOGEbro @wintonARK @elonmusk Twitter is not free, it's paid by advertisers. I'm fine to see their ads here. Youtube is not free, but I hate to see ads, I pay to not see ads there. But $8 is unjustified, it's not to surpress bot accounts, it's to make you pay.

@htmayes @Asher_Newbold @thanosmiss235 @BuyDOGEbro @wintonARK @elonmusk Totally, opening verification to everyone! But why pay monthly fee? You can have premium subscription without ads, everyone does it. But verification should not have to be behind paywall.

@sk9yy @Asher_Newbold @thanosmiss235 @BuyDOGEbro @wintonARK @elonmusk Opening verification up to everyone makes it so that anyone can contribute to the conversation and you can know you’re talking to a person.

@Asher_Newbold @htmayes @thanosmiss235 @BuyDOGEbro @wintonARK @elonmusk Creditcard is not a problem, let it be. Identification is hopefully (i don't know if IDs from all governments can be trusted) the way to stop bots. You don't need to pay monthly fee to fight bots.

@Asher_Newbold @htmayes @thanosmiss235 @BuyDOGEbro @wintonARK @elonmusk What I'm saying (from my first tweet in the thread btw) you should let people get verified (anyone) but making everyone pay monthly fee does not make sense.

@Asher_Newbold @htmayes @thanosmiss235 @BuyDOGEbro @wintonARK @elonmusk Good point. Credit card is not a problem you can get one-time number anywhere, identification hopefully is. So the way to reduce bots - allow people to get verified (right now you have to be Notable to get verified). So why pay? Paywall is not a solution here.

@htmayes @Asher_Newbold @thanosmiss235 @BuyDOGEbro @wintonARK @elonmusk Think about it, you will get same amount of bots (they will pay, they are paid for) and fewer people (because they don't want to pay). This is the point? It's pretty dumb, no?

@sk9yy @Asher_Newbold @thanosmiss235 @BuyDOGEbro @wintonARK @elonmusk Yes, I believe that’s exactly the point.
