Imagine goes to Central Park in NYC and standing on a soapbox. You have to pay the city for use of the space. You have to pay the city if there’s too many people who show up or they’ll quietly keep people away (shadowbanning unpaid popular accounts which X does) and only people who always paid the city for the right to speak to you can speak to you. If someone is watching, they have duct tape over their mouths and can’t remove it on site unless they go to the PURCHASE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK license from the city, who they is authorized to remove the duct tape from your mouth and you can then speak to them.
