Twitter It will allow the media to charge users for reading their notes, as announced this Saturday, April 29, by Elon Musk, CEO of the platform.
“This allows users who would not contract a monthly subscription to pay a higher price, when they want to read an occasional article. It should be a huge win for both media organizations and the public,” the businessman wrote in a tweet.
According to the second richest man in the world, this monetization plan would begin in May, but he did not mention the price or the percentage that would correspond to Twitter for providing such a service.
Elon just can’t make Twitter profitable
This announcement comes after the strategy of charging for the “blue tick” of verification through the service Twitter Blue It would be a complete failure.
Now that verifications are gone, it’s unclear Musk’s strategy for giving the platform legitimacy if most users don’t sign up for Blue. What’s worse, users really don’t seem to want to pay $8 a month (144 Mexican pesos).
It is a new plan by the businessman to make the microblogging social network profitable. The question arises as to how the media would get users to buy news when they are used to receiving it for free on the internet and there are platforms like TikTok that are becoming more and more popular for immediate information.
