Elon Musk said he wants to “maximize the prosperity of content creators”; bold and italic formatting is also part of the news
On Thursday evening (13), Twitter announced news for its subscription service. In all, there are two new features coming to Twitter Blue: the ability to format posts in both italics and bold, and support for tweets of up to 10,000 characters. This way, users will be able to swap threads for real dissertations.
According to the bird’s social network, the new features aim to “improve the reading and writing experience on the platform.” You must subscribe to Twitter Blue, which arrived in Brazil in 2023, to access the news.
With this, the 4,000 character limit (introduced in February) in the paid model will be 10,000. It is worth mentioning that for those using the free version you can only create posts with a maximum of 280 characters. Bold and italic formatting is also unique to Twitter Blue.
New monetization news also arrives on Twitter
The novelties in the way of creating posts on the platform didn’t come by themselves. Also on April 13, Elon Musk announced in a tweet the introduction of new monetization tools for content producers on the social network. This is part of the rebranding of the Super Follows program.
All you have to do is select the “Monetization” option in the “Pro Tools” options. Then, you need to click the “Subscriptions” button to start offering your followers the ability to subscribe to your profile to keep up with your content.
However, only Twitter Blue subscribers have access to these features.
In addition, Elon Musk has stated that in the next 12 months, the bird’s social network will not keep any of the money raised in this system. According to the CEO, this means you can get 70% for subscriptions on iOS and Android, which is 30%, and about 92% on the web.
After that period, Apple and Google’s fee will drop to 15%, but Twitter will charge creators a “small fee” depending on volume.
Again in the words of the CEO of the platform, the goal is “to maximize the prosperity of the content creator”. If you want, you can leave the social network and take all your work with you.
Currently, content producers can offer subscriptions for monthly prices. There are rules such as being 18 or older and having a minimum of 10,000 applicants to be admitted to the process.
