From a perspective of a normal user? Awful. Now suddenly you have to pay to TWEET? I don't believe people will take this lightly, especially with the shit X pulled recently.
From a perspective of a botter? Probably also awful, but 1$ per year is not something a person in possession of a huge botnet couldn't afford to pay. Especially if X will relax in the comfort of this subscription and ban less accounts. That would make 1$ p/y really rather cheap when you also account for basic computing costs.

I really liked Bandcamp, it was one of the easiest and most direct ways i could buy my music FROM the artists themselves. I sometimes would sit hours at my desk, listening to previews and buying what i found interesting enough. Certainly improved my taste.

I don't think it's the $ amount that is important, its the ability to pay. If your bot net is pretending to be 10000 Americans, paying $1 each in a way that doesn't cause X's botnet alarm to start flagging your accounts - ie with different American credit cards - is a little harder.
I think it is a bad move for Android interoperability. Samsung has its own AirDrop. Oppo has its own AirDrop. I don't know about many others but its frustrating to not be able to use a feature, because you simply don't know other people with that brand.
Especially here in Germany the Smartphone market is dominated by Apple and Samsung, so good luck trying to successfully use Oppo Share.
I think it would be a better approach to implement these sorts of features natively and not force them into those dodgy reskins but rather incentive smartphone manufacturers into using them.
I know your mention of AirDrop was intended as an example, but you might be interested in localsend, which is also cross platform with desktops, IOS. localsend.org
What’s so memorable or “heirloom” about a crappy or embarrassing picture of yourself taken by someone else? It’s not as if the relative lovingly painted it from scratch - it’s just a photograph.
Our family photos included one particular photo of me, a rear view holding a garden hose.
And it was extremely embarrassing, but not because of its subject matter. It was embarrassing because, for decades, my mother used it as a weapon against me. It was one of those things to emasculate and humiliate me for being a boy and for having a natural body. It was a way to tease me and implemented as a source of shame.
It was just another brick in the wall, of course, but unfortunately I didn't get proper access to burn it when I had the chance. It might still exist, for all I know. I may perhaps eventually get a golden opportunity for final satisfaction.
