That is very frustrating. I guess that's how X makes their money. I'll consider if it's worth paying for the tick.
Instragram is not particularly good. My reach is terrible. I get more attention from Facebook, which I really don't like using.
I guess I should explore alternatives to all these.
Yes, the reach on Facebook is better. I think you'll probably have to get the blue tick on Twitter as it's probably the best bet. The limited reach is lifted with that blue tick. I don't know if it's still 8$ per month
It's definitely worth paying for the tick.
It's also a filter, if you pay $10 then you are also eligible for revenue and people know you're not just a troll.
I think of it as a subscription model (Netflix, Spotify) that after all, if you want the full experience you have to pay.
In fact I just gave you a follow on X (ericonchain)
