That's a hard working if. A dollar per year from a majority of Twitter users is a few dollars. I think it's probably about the money.
It's about having CC on file. He wants to create a mega app and needs to be able to charge users to do that. It's that simple.
That is also my take on it. Also once people have added the cc, it’s allot easier to ramp up the costs to let’s say one dollar a month
