Twitter has added a new feature that will let Blue subscribers create tweets that are 10,000 characters long and include bold and italic text styling.
To encourage larger messages rather than threads, the business started offering 4,000-character tweets for Blue customers in February. Elon Musk, who is developing monetization tools, said last week that producers could apply for monetization and provide subscriptions to customers. This new function was launched at the same time.
Musk claims that for the following year, Twitter will provide all proceeds to authors after deducting Apple’s or Google’s 30% cut. Yet, Google imposes a 15% subscription fee, calling into question the CEO of Twitter’s 30% estimate.
Now, creators can charge $2.99, $4.99, and $9.99 per month for memberships, but they must be at least 18 years old, have 10,000 active followers, and have tweeted at least 25 times in the previous 30 days.
With its Twitter-like Notes stream, the newsletter software Substack competes fiercely with Twitter. It made an attempt to restrict tweets from the company’s Twitter account and connections to the website throughout the last week.
Now, creators can charge memberships of $2.99, $4.99, and $9.99 per month, but they must be at least 18 years old, have 10,000 active followers, and have tweeted at least 25 times in the previous 30 days.
Musk claimed that Substack “tried to download a huge amount of the Twitter database to start their Twitter clone.” The CEO of Substack rejected the allegation, and the embargo was lifted.
In conclusion, Twitter has added a new feature allowing Blue subscribers to create tweets that are up to 10,000 characters long and include bold and italic text styling. In addition, creators on the platform can now charge $2.99, $4.99, and $9.99 per month for memberships with certain requirements, including having 10,000 active followers and tweeting at least 25 times in the previous 30 days.
Twitter’s rival, Substack, also offers a Twitter-like Notes feed and has faced attempts by Twitter to limit its presence on the platform. Furthermore, Elon Musk has announced that Twitter will provide monetization tools for creators and offer subscriptions to customers, with all proceeds going to authors after Apple or Google’s cut. However, Google’s subscription fee of 15% calls into question Twitter’s CEO’s estimate of 30%.
