Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, announced on Monday that the microblogging platform is “spinning up subscriptions” so that users can “charge” their followers for specific content.
When one user used the new Blue feature, which allows subscribers to create tweets of up to 4,000 characters.
Musk replied, “Good use of long tweet! Next update will allow much longer tweets with basic formatting, so you can post any content on Twitter.”
“We’re also spinning up subscriptions, so you can charge people for some content and they can easily pay with one click.”
Many users expressed their thoughts on Musk’s post.
While one user asked, “Charging to read a tweet? Or paywall?”, another commented, “Great idea. Now an author can publish his entire book on Twitter perhaps one chapter at a time. Leave the first few tweets as free and rest paid.”
The upcoming feature will provide users with an excellent opportunity to earn money from their followers on the micro-blogging platform.
Meanwhile, the microblogging platform announced last week that non-Twitter Blue users will no longer be able to use text messages as a two-factor authentication (2FA) method after March 20.
Twitter confirmed earlier this month that its Blue service with verification will cost Rs 650 per month on the web and Rs 900 on Android and iOS mobile devices in India.
Furthermore, Blue subscribers in the United States can send long tweets of up to 4,000 characters.
Blue users will also see 50% fewer advertisements in their home timeline.
