Happy Friday! New @coreint podcast to wind down the week. Episode 573 covers Apple’s “video reactions” feature and what we can learn about rolling out a surprising feature. Then we jump back into Twitter/X news with the $1/year subscription announcement.

I see the $1 per year subscription more as a token to promote positive engagement. I wish it would help to remove toxic behavior and spam from social networks, but that’s probably already too late. Asking for money probably only makes it worse, since now the baddies are invested even more.
