On Thursday, Elon Musk revealed a new name for Twitter’s “Super Follows” feature: “Subscriptions.” This feature allows users to share exclusive content with their followers and charge them for access. Musk tweeted that subscribers could look forward to exclusive long-form text, long-form videos, and subscriber-only Spaces. Additionally, subscribers would receive special badges to show their support.
Musk himself has a “Subscriptions” feature, where subscribers pay $4 a month for access to an “ask-me-anything” session every few weeks. He stated that Twitter would not keep any of the revenue generated by users for the next 12 months, except for the 30% fee charged by Apple and Google for iOS and Android.
For the next 12 months, Twitter will keep none of the money.
You will receive whatever money we receive, so that’s 70% for subscriptions on iOS & Android (they charge 30%) and ~92% on web (could be better, depending on payment processor).
