Twitter recorded in 2021, revenue of 5 billion dollars.
In 2021, Twitter registered 199 million monetizable active users per day.

The impact of many social networks in the world has made many digital platforms want to start competing with these popular formats that register millions of users. This is the case of Twitter, which according to a report will cancel plans to compete with OnlyFans for being concerned about child pornography.
One of the most famous social networks in the world is Twitter, where, according to data from its report, it registered in the fiscal period that their total world income they amounted to more than 5 billion US dollars, compared to 3.72 billion dollars the previous year.

Twitter to cancel plans to compete with OnlyFans
Although currently in a legal battle with Elon Musk, the little blue bird’s social network was ready to start selling OnlyFans-style porn subscriptions. in a bid to boost its revenue, but halted the feature earlier this year due to child pornography concerns.
According to the report, the social networking site allows users to post porn, but gives them no way to monetize it. So the decision would have been controversial and could have alienated advertisers, but it could also have helped set Twitter apart from other social networking sites.
Recall in weeks past, The Verge reported that Twitter created and considered launching a subscription feature similar to OnlyFans which would allow porn stars to sell nude photos and videos.
In April, the Verge reported based on leaked documents and employee interviews that Twitter assembled an 84-person “Red Team” to “test the decision to allow adult creators to monetize on the platform, specifically focusing on how Twitter would do this safely and responsibly.”
But the team reportedly found a list of disturbing formats in Twitter’s plan, including its failure to consistently detect and remove non-consensual and child pornography.
“Twitter cannot accurately detect child sexual exploitation and non-consensual nudity on a large scale,” wrote the RedTeamadding that Twitter did not have the tools to verify that porn actors and consumers were of legal age.
Also, launching a porn subscription service would reportedly make the risks worse, because obscene sellers would have an incentive to flood the platform and much of the porn would be hidden behind a paywall.
After the report of RedTeamTwitter decided to put the plan on hold until the site could implement further health and safety measures.
Given that, a spokeswoman for Twitter the company, Katie Rosborough, told The Verge that the report of RedTeam “It was part of a discussion, which ultimately led us to stop the workflow for the right reasons.”
In this sense, social networks have become the best communication window in the world, so those responsible for these platforms are very aware of the problems they have in their interface.
