There are reports that Elon Musk is considering putting Twitter behind a paywall.

If at any point before the question closes, Twitter begins charging all users (clarification on "all") for a basic thing (be it creating an account, posting, replying, liking, scrolling, etc), then I will resolve this as Yes.

Clarification of the criteria. If there is anything you are unsure about, please ask in the comments, and then I will answer you and add it here.

Things considered basic (if all users have to pay to do one of these things at any time before the close date, the market resolves YES):

• ability to scroll through the home timeline for at least 30 minutes a day

• following (this is the ability to follow multiple accounts. If Twitter limits the amount of accounts a free user can follow, then that won't count)

• liking

• posting (the ability to post at least some text, image, and video)

• replying

• retweeting

• quote tweeting

Things NOT considered basic:

• unlimited scrolling/data usage

• bookmarking

• write longer posts

• post longer and/or higher-quality video

• undo button

• communities stuff

• lists stuff

• spaces stuff
