The majority of Twitter Blue's original subscribers have unsubscribed


According to a recent source, Twitter Blue was able to sign up about 640,000 new customers after CEO Elon Musk unveiled the new subscription plan in November. Only about 68,157 of the roughly 150,000 early Twitter Blue subscribers had persisted through the end of April.

Only 150,000 people signed up for Twitter Blue when it first launched in November, according to internal documents obtained by the Washington Post last year. Musk then disabled new signups after people started impersonating people and brands on the social media platform.

Approximately 81,843 individuals, or 54.5 percent, of Twitter users who first signed up for Twitter Blue are no longer subscribed, according to a research by Mashable. According to a survey conducted by the subscription management company Recurly, the average annual churn rate for subscription-based businesses is only 5.57 percent.


According to a previous Gizmodo story, many former Twitter Blue subscribers were unable to cancel their subscriptions even after failing to make payments for months.

The proportion of Twitter Blue subscribers with few followers has remained largely stable, according to the most recent data from last month on the social media site. This explains why so many Twitter Blue subscribers continue to show up, either as a result of the premium function of algorithm boost on the For You timeline or simply as a result of continuing to receive service features even after cancelling the subscription.

Users can preview GPT-4 by logging in to Bing or Edge with their Microsoft accounts.

The business is currently gradually making the service available to everyone. According to The Verge, Bing Chat will also get new features like image and video results, Bing and Edge Actions, persistent chat and history, and plug-in compatibility. The future of Bing Chat and its developers will be built on plug-in support. To enable its plug-in for completing restaurant reservations within Bing Chat and WolframAlpha for generating visualisations, the company is already collaborating with OpenTable. At its Build conference later this month, Microsoft is anticipated to provide more information.

Mastodon is an alternative to Twitter.

The mess that ensued after Twitter was taken over by billionaire Elon Musk led many devoted users to stop using the social media site. Since then, many alternatives have emerged and gained popularity, including Jack Dorsey's BlueSky and Mastodon. I didn't see any difference in the sign-up process or the app's design, which pretty well mimics Twitter's functionality. In contrast to Twitter, Mastodon bills itself as a decentralised open-source network that doesn't sell user data or employ an algorithm feed. Mastodon has not gained popularity in part because to technical issues with the software, ambiguity about how it should be used, and the tiny number of users who joined the network. Around 70,000 users left Twitter for it. Even if the platform's performance has substantially improved over the past year, and many of its technical issues have been resolved, many users still find it challenging to navigate and frequently quit the network be...
