Why would you make it recurring, if it’s to fight bots? A sign up fee of 5 bucks would make more sense.
But it’s not about bots. It’s about extracting whatever cash he can.
Elon whining about bots is the same as trump whining about fake news.
He's just trying to use it as a carte blanche to do what he likes without having to explain himself
Because if you make it recurring you have justification to keep a card on file. Which means a good percentage of people will set it up and then forget about it. And if it remains yearly it'll happen infrequently enough that people probably won't bother cancelling it. Even if the price goes up.
