Earlier this year, at the Twitter Analyst Day, Twitter announced that it is working on a new paid service called Super Follows, to allow users to charge for their content.
Reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong has tweeted screenshots of what she says it will look like. According to Wong’s findings, the Super Follows program will be limited to Twitter users with at least 10,000 followers, who have posted at least 25 tweets within the last 30 dats and are above 18 years of age. Twitter has earlier mentioned that one of the main features of Super Follows will be bonus content, such as exclusive tweets for Super Followers.
Wong also pointed towards a list of content categories that Super Follows users would choose from, in order to describe their content. She also notes that “adult content” and “OnlyFans” are listed as “content platforms,” along with Facebook, Substack, Patreon, Twitch, and YouTube. Twitter refused to comment on Wong’s latest findings. The micro-blogging site had earlier described the Super Follows feature as a kind of a subscription, providing an example where a Super Follow user charged $4.99 per month for users to get access to “perks.”
Through this feature service, Twitter will increase its revenue, and content creators will also be able to earn. However, there is currently no information about when this feature will be launched. Also, no disclosure has been made regarding the launch in India.
