Also this is a good example of how Apple's fees are sneaking into creator content. Out of a $5/mo sub, Apple gets $1.50 as an Apple Tax, yet Twitter still charges money on top of that for processing. The Internet has taken a turn for the worse.

- the_bear 5y agoRight now, a lot of "creators" use Twitter to generate leads to sell premium content of various sorts (e.g. paid newsletters, ebooks, etc.). But the premium content has to live somewhere else, and there's a challenge getting people from Twitter to those other platforms. I can see both the creators and consumers of content being happier if the lead gen and delivery of the premium content could happen in the same place. This especially makes sense if Twitter integrates this further with their Revue acquisition. A few examples I could imagine: - This could be used as an alternative to Substack/paid newsletters. - I could see this being popular with people who share tips like crypto/stocks, etc. Get the basic tips for free, pay to get the good stuff (note: I don't endorse this, I'm just saying I bet it'll happen). - This is a bit different from everything else I'm mentioning, but I bet celebrities could get their hardcore fans to pay for inside access to various things (e.g. backstage videos).
- hamburgerwah 5y agoIt's basic patronage of the arts. It's a mechanism that long predates anything to do with the internet. Like a creator? Want them to keep creating? Give them money directly (well mostly directly).
- cma 5y agoBut why so much to Apple?
- hamburgerwah 5y agoThey are a wildly successful monopoly so until they're broken up that's how it be.
