"Why do I need a Pro account to send Direct Messages!?"
If you really think about it, DMs are a huge vector for abuse on other social media sites. To mitigate this, CounterSocial requires you to have made a small investment in the community before you can privately contact other members.
Luckily, going Pro also comes with a bevy of other awesome features that makes it worth every penny. #CoSoTips
@CoSoTips That's the first really UNcool thing I've seen here. You have to PAY to send DMs? Uh uh, that's not it, bro.
We are extremely comfortable with limiting key features to Pro accounts. We won't tell you exactly how much it costs to keep this space alive lately, but it's a lot. #CoSoTips
