This policy can be rolled back, but the trust is eroding, and it's much harder to rebuild. People will be more and more afraid of spending time&effort to cultivate an audience on Twitter.
For me, it'll require a leadership/ownership change, which is not that likely?
PG can do it, his audience will follow.
Not everyone has that luxury. Especially for those who are at the beginning, and need to be where the community is.
