It's $1.99/month or $16.99/yr, which is waaayyy less than $3/month. Less than half that, if paid annually.

How would you guarantee someone something like that?
Incorporate, NFPO, most likely 501(c)(7).
Besides that, I don't think they tried. "Do no evil" isn't reassuring in the slightest, especially to those of us who remember Reddit before Advance and Tencent bought in. This is when Reddit was literally user powered (image relevant). We bought gold for other redditors, knowing that the funds were directly supporting the site. Go take a look at how that worked out. "It's your site", "we couldn't do this without you", meaningless. I remember when they pledged 10% of annual ad revenue to non-profits, selected by the users. They really did the most to make the users feel like they were part of something special. We see how that turned out.
Obviously, support whoever and whatever you like. All I want to do is balance out the optimism. Real money is changing hands here, and some of us have been down this road a couple of times. Those experiences have taught me that it's at least as likely that the site-runners want to be rich and successful as it is that they can resist the temptation when it comes knocking, and that's being generous.
That doesn't answer the question...
Google search "Twitter Hate Speech". Everyone and their mom has been reporting on the increase in hate speech at Twitter since Musk took over. Of course, he waits to sue until a small non-profit comes along, albeit one with a stellar reputation, whose resources he can exhaust in courts, which will count as a "win" in the eyes of his worshipers.
I can see it now, "Musk defeats liberal beta SJW cucks, a decisive blow for free speech."

incredible 😂😂
Also, if you're into pulpy sci-fi, the Avery Cates books are fun reads. Start with Electric Church.
Revelation Space! Yes, yes, yes! Pick them up and don't look back.
In other words, everyone, including your favorite bands, likes things the way they are. Things will not change unless the fans take a stand, which means things will never change.
i want 2 beta sooooo bad ❤️
