Elon Musk said the move would be a major win-win for media organisations and public (representational)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Twitter will allow media publishers to charge users to read their article from next month, Elon Musk said today.<\/p>\n

Users will be charged on a “per article basis” and will end up paying more if they don’t sign up for a monthly subscription, said Musk in his latest tweak to the platform he took over in October.<\/p>\n

“Rolling out next month, this platform will allow media publishers to charge users on a per article basis with one click,” said the tech billionaire who recently removed the ‘blue tick’ for most verified profiles who haven’t subscribed to the Twitter Blue programme.<\/p>\n

This enables users who would not sign up for a monthly subscription to pay a higher per article price for when they want to read an occasional article.\u2026<\/p>\n

“This enables users who would not sign up for a monthly subscription to pay a higher per article price for when they want to read an occasional article. Should be a major win-win for both media orgs and the public,” he added.<\/p>\n

This has raised confusion since several media publishers already use a paywall on their websites for subscription-based content.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, Twitter announced creators too can monetize their content on the platform.<\/p>\n

“Support content creators around the world in near and far away places! For many this represents a vital source of income and enables them to put more time into creating great content for you,” said Musk.<\/p>\n

“All proceeds go to content creators, we keep nothing,” he added.<\/p>\n

Twitter’s biggest operational change has been removing the legacy blue tick from the accounts of verified users who are yet to subscribe to Twitter Blue, a $8 monthly subscription programme.<\/p>\n

The subscribers not only get a blue tick but also get to post longer tweets and an editing feature, and are “prioritised” on the platform.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
