"Twitter" is testing to grant "an exclusive paid feature" to its users

On Thursday, the US Twitter site began testing an optional feature for its users, which is to give them exclusive content in exchange for a physical subscription.

The feature, called "Super Follows" or "Super Followers", allows "Twitter" users to collect money for an additional and exclusive dose of the content provided, according to the company announced in an official statement, according to the American network "NBC".

The feature is still being tested within "Twitter", and has not been launched widely and officially.

A spokesman for "Twitter" stated that "exploring opportunities to fund tweeters such as the" Super Follows "feature will allow creators and publishers to obtain direct support from their audience, and it will also motivate them to continue creating content that their audience loves.

The company said it would have more to share in the feature "in the coming months."

The move represents a shift in a service that has always been free, prompting Twitter to follow the example of companies like Patreon, "Only Fans" and "Substack", which all provide an opportunity to make money from important or loyal followers.

It is noteworthy that the "Twitter" company, which is based in San Francisco, earns most of its revenue from advertising sales, but it thinks from time to time about applying subscriptions to its users.

In 2017, Twitter said it was considering creating a premium version of the "TweetDeck" interface targeting professionals for money, and in the same year it said it was testing the tip option on its Periscope broadcast service.
