Twitter could create a micro payment tip system as a button next to the heart. Give popular users a way to monetize their followers, creating a virtuous cycle attracting more content publishers.
- lhnz 10y agoThat's also true but I was also imagining a system which generated and sent on a micropayment authentication id via a redirect when paywalled links are clicked. Rather than users visiting publishers to find that they'd already read their 10 free articles, publishers would be able to use the id to grant them access to the article for a small fee that Twitter collected on their behalf at the end of the month. Zero-friction low price articles for users. And customer acquisition costs fall for publishers. It would also enable small time bloggers to also monetise their audiences.
