Twitter Planning to Test Subscription Models This Year
- Thread starter MacRumors

As with everything, let's see what they come up with and how that affects all the different parties involved (third-party developers, content producers, users, toxic trash).
Do I see a possible future where I might pay a subscription for Twitter? Yes, but not for what Twitter currently offers me. The closest equivalent I can think of is something like Feedbin, Feedly or NewsBlur - they offer a type of service that's subscription-valuable to me. Twitter would have to do something similarly valuable to get my interest.

Sure they can. Doesn’t mean they are free from ridicule. It just shows how out of touch they are.
I love twitter. A subscription model only makes sense if it is offered alongside a non subscription model with ads. I think that could work. But a subscription only model will kill twitter.
Not, that’s not what that means.
They’re saying that the new line of revenue needs to come close to matching what they currently get in advertising dollars per user.
Complementary = Resembling
Let's see. If even half of Twitter's 300+ million users (assuming half are bots) paid $5 a month for the service (ad-free) that would come up to $9 Billion in revenue. Not too shabby.
Hello,
I’m Jack Dorsey, not only do we allow the scum of the Earth to post and share constant ads you don’t want to see with a large bit of selling your personal information to the highest bidders but now you get to pay me for it.
Twitter is even worse than Facebook. At least Faceboo has the redeeming value of keeping distant family members together and exchanging photographs. What does Twitter offer? Russian hackers?

They can barely get real users for free.

It's super easy to get customer support from companies via DMs.
It is surprising that shortly after Twitter engages in selected censorship, they plan to to test a subscription model. Just seems like that worst possible way to go about things.
There is many ways they can make money off Twitter:
1:Subscription for ad less and tracking less account ($20/yr)
2: Fix that horrid app,make that guy who makes Apollo for Reddit create the official Twitter app or use the Tweetbot guys
3: Pay for verified accounts
4: make money on purchases made via twitter ads
5: kill spam and fake accounts.
6: decrease ad size, this big block of ad is not pleasant
You choose who to read news from like you choose to read from MacRumors here
This is what you get with freedom of speech, everyone is free to say what they want. It could be said for any other place people can express their opinions like TV, Radio, Reddit, and MacRumors.

Then why are you posting in topic about something you never used?
hehe
Well Youube has 'Red' and users pay for that.
As long as there is an incentive, like no spam bots i'd be happy to pay. What's in it for me?
Not at this time and unlikely in the future either. That sounds like a useless feature.
