It's too costly to subscribe to multiple subscriptions. This inherently limits the number of subscriptions an average user will purchase, which hurts both the user and limits revenue of accounts offering subscriptions.
Offer an all-you-can-eat $10-15/month X subscription. Let accounts with subscriptions opt in to this all-you-can-eat subscription model. Then divide total proceeds across all participating accounts that offer subscriptions, based on views and usage.
Win-win-win for users and subscriptions and X.
I drive a Y LR in South Dakota.
It does a 245 mile trip (4hr 15 min) to Minneapolis leaving with 100% and gets there without charging, with 25% remaining. Average speed through MN is 65 mph. Outstanding.
Same car does a 345 mile trip (5hr 5 min) to Rapid City and requires two charging stops - typically for 25 min and 15 min. Difference is most of this trip is on the Interstate with 80 mph speed limit.
I was surprised by this at first, but in large degree it comes down to physics - higher travel speed and higher wind resistance takes more energy.
It is the same with a gas vehicle - range is significantly shortened when going faster or against a strong wind.
FWIW, I've seen a noticeable difference between 80 mph and 85 mph (just 5 over 😉) on the interstate. 80 uses considerable less energy, so that's what I drive on interstate now.
Maybe the greatest sentence ever written by human hands (Jefferson with edits from Franklin and Adams): We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and…
Would be nice to have a General Content Subscription option where monthly spend was distributed to individual content producers/publishers based on articles viewed.
Maybe this is included with Twitter Blue, or a higher level of Twitter Blue. Or a separate General Content subscription.
So I pay $10/month and can subscribe to 50 content publishers. Possibly could allow content producers to opt out of having their content paid with a General Subscription, but guess they would receive more revenue. And users wouldn't be frustrated by having to limit themselves to just a couple subscriptions due to personal budget.
That's where I'm at right now - too many publishers I would like to subscribe to, but at $3-5 each * 50 publishers it goes beyond what I will spend. That causes me to agonize which to choose, and I end up not choosing any because as good as each are, they are individuals and limited in scope and volume they can produce.
Put them all together and there is significant value, more users will gladly subscribe to General Content Subscription, and all of them can make money.
Bought my first Tesla two months ago, without ever driving one.
Unbelievable vehicle, best I've ever owned or driven. Next level. Completely unexpected.
...and now with a video to match. Great work @billycrammer - you captured it.
@mhp_guy@AcdntlyRetired Agree you should be able to do this from the onboard UI. Workaround might be to switch to bluetooth and play podcasts @ 1.5x from your phone.
I have to do this when the car doesn't reconnect to Apple Music. Funny how much extra effort this seems.
