Or is <strong>Twitter<\/strong> just following in line with what other social media sites have been doing for years?<\/p>\n<p>On February 25, the tweeting mogul posted a new announcement about their next venture. This time, it sounds like we\u2019re getting something akin to a <strong>Patreon<\/strong> \u2014 called <strong>Super Follows<\/strong> \u2014 where users and groups can offer special tweets for their fans in exchange for financial support.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Metallica Dubbed During Blizzcon Virtual Concert \u2014 Hit With DMCA Rules They Helped Enact During Napster Era<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Huh. So, this honestly sounds like it could be a wonderful opportunity, especially for creatives, to offer some of their content. The thing is though, the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> responses we\u2019ve seen from the public commenting on this announcement have been very mixed.<\/p>\n<p>But first, ch-ch-check out the tweet (below) discussing the announcement:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Twitter announces paid Super Follows to let you charge for tweets <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nw281nPJ4P\">https:\/\/t.co\/nw281nPJ4P<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WHPGmYTK3j\">pic.twitter.com\/WHPGmYTK3j<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Verge (@verge) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/verge\/status\/1365005189070147590?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 25, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Okay, and now to discuss some of these comments, y\u2019all! They are SUPER inneresting!! Some people seem to be all for this \u2014 while others responded with some pushback.<\/p>\n<p>One user compared the new program to <strong>Pay-Per-View TV<\/strong> with:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIs this like a 280 character version of \u2018Pay Per View\u2019 TV? Apart from cracked software license codes or stolen credit card numbers, what tweets could possibly be worth paying for? I\u2019m sure some celebs will find a bunch of people to pay for their musings.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While another seemed more enthusiastic and understood the true value of this new setup. They wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cEveryone\u2019s missing the point on who\/what this will benefit. Artists and content creators will run a patreon type deal to let people see exclusive content without having to move people to a different platform. I don\u2019t think anyone will be selling or subscribing to funny tweets lol\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And yet another user made a comment about the costs of all these collective services on the Internet adding up. This person commented with:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cYeow. Between the magazines, music services, movie streaming, random ebooks, twitch subs, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> fees, cloud service space, office product fees, photo management storage fees, random wierdo pro <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>s and of course my yearly donation to Wikipedia, the internet is getting expensive.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Yikes. So, uh, yeah, this is another cost that people would have to pay. But it DOES sound like it would generally be worth it, if used in the right ways and by the right people. Sounds like the general consensus though is that most people wouldn\u2019t just be paying for some rando Twitter user.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we should also mention that <strong>RIP Twitter<\/strong> has been trending on the site. So, clearly there are people against Twitter charging users for anything.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a comical tweet from one user pointing out the trending hashtag:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Not RIP twitter trending on twitter <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zPxlZpZYOZ\">pic.twitter.com\/zPxlZpZYOZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \u2728feanor\u2728 (@_neonheart_) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_neonheart_\/status\/1365044369649246209?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 25, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>But what do you think, Perezcious reader?
