Attempting to paywall Twitter at this late stage is a recipe for disaster. People have become accustomed to receiving information 'for nothing'. Telling them that they must now pay for it will lead to a grand exodus elsewhere. It's not that you cannot create a paywall across a service like Twitter, but that you simply cannot do it on Twitter if for no reason other than the fact that Twitter has operated for fifteen years already without a paywall, and no one is going to start paying for what was already adequately paid for without a subscription. TL;DR Paywalls are for new services, not Twitter.
