Twitter to Offer Paid Tweet Options

FRANCE-US-INTERNET-SOCIAL-NETWORK-TWITTER

Twitter users will soon have the option to charge their followers for access to additional tweets and content.

The payment feature, called Super Follows, will allow Twitter users to charge followers and give them access to extra content. That could be bonus tweets, access to a community group, subscription to a newsletter, or a badge indicating your support. In a mockup screenshot, Twitter showed an example where a user charges $4.99 per month to receive a series of perks. Twitter sees it as a way to let creators and publishers get paid directly by their fans.

This seems like it will be great for artists and such, but I cannot think of one person whose thoughts I care enough about to pay for. It will be interesting to see how the feature becomes utilized.
