Because the short-term equation is easy:

Would you rather have 10 users paying nothing but taking up server space and bandwidth? Or would you prefer 1 paying user and 9 people leaving? In the short term, option B is a win-win.

And if that leads to Twitter becoming a dead husk of itself, oh well, that’s a problem for next quarter
