Twitter May Be Planning to Add More Premium Tiers

[MacRumors]

Social network X, previously known as Twitter, may soon offer more than one subscription tier. Code in the app suggests that the Premium offering could be split into three, including Premium Basic, Premium Standard, and Premium Plus.

Premium Basic lists "full ads" in the For You feed, while Premium Standard says it has "half ads" in For You. Premium Plus says there will be no ads in For You. Given the specific mention of the For You feed, it sounds like all of the tiers will continue to have ads in replies. Revenue from reply ads is used for paying content creators on the social network.

At the current time, a Premium subscription is priced at $8 per month or $84 per year, and there is no word yet on what the new tiers might be priced at. There are also no other details on the differences between the plans or launch information.

"Half ads"

 

[CosmicTris392]

I find ads entertaining on X because most of them have community notes attached to them.

"Half ads"

Yeah, that's about right... They couldn't even put enough effort in to check their spelling on that one.

 

[PantherKang]

Good luck with that. I mean, for those of you who HAVE to utilize it. Good grief.

 

[trusso]

Bring back the bird.

That "X" looks awful.

 

[cthompson94]

Half ads are the most hilarious thing I’ve heard in a while. I think Hulu has a tier like that

 

[Wowfunhappy]

I just want to take a moment to appreciate that the headline calls it "Twitter", as it should, because X continues to be too stupid a name to actually use.

Reminds me of Jaffa Cakes advert! Half moon, full moon, total eclipse…

 

[Gengar]

LMAO. Ain’t nobody paying for Twitter.

 

[antiprotest]

They should just start a gofundme and beg for donations.

Profitable in 2024

"Half ads"

Wait until they do 1/4 and 3/4 ads

Premium Basic = Full ads
Premium Basic Plus = 3/4 ads
Premium Standard = Half ads
Premium Standard Plus = 1/4 ads
Premium Plus = No ads


And 🤣 at calling the full ads experience "Premium"

They should add one more X 😵

I hope Facebook gets paid tiers too. Induce people to stop using social media.

 

[Joe Mac User]

Stop deadnaming X.

Twitter's model is so extremely easy to rip off, the USERS are creating and posting the content are the benefit, not the service itself.

It will be ripped it off as users migrate to a free service - obviously hasn't happened yet (e.g. - Threads) but it will if Twitter goes full subscription mode.

A fool and his money...

LMAO. Ain’t nobody paying for Twitter.

If you view ads, then you ARE paying, whether you like it or not.

 

[GuruZac]

Why does anybody pay a single dime for any feature on social media? Like subscriptions on Instagram, YouTube, etc.

 

[magicschoolbus]

The world is better without some social media platforms. I find X/Twitter has an absurd amount of bots, fake accounts, accounts that push narratives funded by who knows what, and lots of overall spam. Pretty sure I can live without this easily.

Super Premium - Get a follow from MuskyBoy 10000000$

…and wait until he sells his $perms and/or kids too.

 

[Radeon85]

Well my response to that is giving them the bird, if they do this then that site is dead.

 

[CPx]

How much to unlock article headlines? 😂

Key words - "may be"
