Twitter is reportedly planning to introduce a pay-per-article option for media publishers, allowing them to charge users for access to individual articles they post on the website.
While details about the upcoming feature remain vague, Twitter CEO Elon Musk has stated that it will start rolling out next month.
Users will pay a higher per-article price than the cost of access to every article with a subscription, but it’s intended for those who want to read the occasional story from a specific outlet.
It’s unclear which accounts and media outlets will be able to offer per-article charging, and how much commission Twitter will take.
Musk previously announced that Twitter won’t take any money from creators for the next 12 months, but after that, it will take a 10% cut on subscriptions.
Twitter has been introducing more paid features to boost revenue, including its $8-a-month Blue subscription that comes with a verification badge and a new API that enterprise customers must pay almost $50,000 a month to access.
