I just learned about RSS feeds a week ago. Super happy now with NetNewsWire. I think this is the way to go. Self-selected reading, as in self-selected viewing of videos, or self-selected books, or clothes, or food. Enough with shoving up our throats already.
 
I don’t use Twitter enough or have any influence to justify needing or paying money for that functionality. For influencers, politicians and celebrities, it could be a huge benefit. But are there enough to make it generate good revenue, I think not.
Don't worry, they will raise the price step by step then Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok will join them and make subscription features
 


Twitter has been working on some kind of subscription service since last summer, and Jane Manchun Wong, who often digs into new features coming in apps, has shared details on just what Twitter is exploring.

Twitter's subscription service could be called Twitter Blue, and at the current time, it's priced at $2.99 per month. There will be a "Collections" section that allows users to save and organize their favorite tweets to make them easier to find at a later date.


It will also include an "Undo Tweets" feature, which will give customers a short time to "Undo" a tweet that has a mistake before it's actually posted on the social network. The Tweet Undo period looks to be customizable, so users can set their preferred interval.


Users will also be able to select where the Undo Tweet feature will be applied, with options that include original tweets, replies, tweetstorms, and quote tweets.

Wong says that Twitter is working on a tiered subscription pricing model, so one tier could have more paid features than another.


Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said last July that Twitter would set a "really high bar" for when Twitter would ask customers to "pay for aspects of Twitter."

There is no word on when Twitter's subscription functionality could roll out, nor what it will cost when it launches. Pricing and feature set could change because the subscription option is still in testing.

I think that will be better if they say if you have the subscription you will have a blue badge at least, because the service they provide is insignificant
 
I hope paying means you are verified too, because they sure as hell will verify that bank account info to get that money.

The ads are annoying enough.

I admit to being a Twitter addict, but not enough to pay for these features.
Accept ads or pay.

With Apple restricting tracking to their own apps, there will be fewer free services.
 
(Various posters) "I don't use twitter (much) so don't care about this" et cetera.

Well yeah, cool story bro.

As someone who does use twitter a lot this does sound interesting though probably want more such as blocking those annoying promoted click bait tweets before I'd sign up.

I'm a dumb one who pays for youtube premium (no ads) but i use it daily (asmr videos to relax).

I don't even use FB or Twitter so....bahhhh
me toom and I don's see yt premium as stupid, I hate ads that much, so the rather low lrice fir oremium is worth it for me, and the content creators still gets a few cents so everybody wins

Un-do tweet? So basically same as delete then

I assume it’s like Google’s “undo send” feature in Gmail, after you click send you still have a couple seconds to undo before it actually goes out because after clicking send is usually when you notice an error that proofreading missed.

Of course, other Twitter apps do this already and it’s not a feature worth subscribing for.
 
Would like a venn diagram of the people in this thread who say they would pay a Twitter subscription and the people in the Tweetbot thread who said they would never pay for a Tweetbot subscription. ;)

Tweetbot? That’s a name I haven’t heard in years. Nostalgic.
