       In its latest blog post, Signal just announced that it pays $6 million in fees for delivering verification codes via SMS.Signal has less than 50 million users. X, by some estimates, has 530 million users. That's about $60 million in SMS messages alone!*Suddenly, the decision to restrict SMS-based messages to paying users seems a lot more like basic math than "Musk evil"* this might be significantly less, according to some sources, X gets much better rates than anybody else because of Twitter's old SMS days.

       @miki, but this was rumoured immediately that he was saving on SMS but perhaps had an obligation to provide that service anyway, so he limited it to subscribers.
