Twitter has introduced a new feature that will let users charge fee for access to exclusive content.
The new Twitter feature will let users charge for exclusive, extra material from their followers and can include subscriber-only newsletters, videos, deals and discounts, the social media giant said in an investor presentation on Thursday.
Twitter’s ‘super follow’ feature has been launched with the aim to give a push to refresh its business after years of stagnation. Twitter Inc also plans to launch other new features and products, the company said on Thursday, aiming to double its annual revenue in 2023, said a Reuters report on Friday.
The “super follow” feature, which lets users charge followers for access to exclusive content, will launch this year, the company spokesman said.
The site, typically used to broadcast short messages to a wide audience, is also working on building more ways for people to have conversations, it said.
This includes hosting live audio discussions using its `Spaces` feature, which is being tested with about 1,000 users, and letting people share longer-form content using Revue, a newsletter publishing service Twitter acquired last month.
It is also considering allowing “communities” to be created for particular interests.
Twitter will also be launching “Revue” and “Twitter Spaces”.
“Twitter Spaces,” a feature similar to Clubhouse will allow users to participate in audio conversations.
The feature is in private beta testing, meaning it is yet to be launched for users.
Kayvon Beykpour, Twitter`s head of consumer product, told Reuters that creators would be able to customize communities, including setting and enforcing “social norms” beyond Twitter`s rules.
Internationally, Twitter faces challenges in India, a rapidly growing market with plans to require that social media companies erase certain content and coordinate with law enforcement.
Twitter had previously refused to delete content connected to farmers` protests in India.
