Twitter is doubling down on its advertising efforts by rolling out additional features for Blue subscribers, including a 50% lower rate of ads in users’ timelines and a visibility boost in search. This move follows Facebook’s recent announcement that it will be creating a “paywall” for some of its user content, which has left some observers questioning Twitter’s commitment to free access for all.
The feature, which is labelled “sponsored content”, will see posts from businesses and brands shown in a different colour and with a smaller graphic than other tweets. This should help to focus users on the content rather than the adverts.
Promoted tweets appear more often than non-promoted tweets between two sets of tweets because Twitter believes that users are more interested in what is being promoted than what is not. This gives businesses a greater chance to be seen by potential customers, since they will likely see their promoted tweet more often than if it was not promoted.
Twitter is testing a new feature that will let users see only half-sized ads when they view other people’s tweets. The social network specified that this feature doesn’t apply to ads shown on the profile or in replies, promoted accounts and trends, and promoted events on the Explore page. Twitter also said that the half-ads feature will be applicable only once a subscriber’s profile has been reviewed and gets the verification mark. This could be an effective way for Twitter to reduce clutter on users’ timelines, as well as make it easier for them to focus on what matters most – their own tweets.
Since Twitter began reducing ads on paid subscribers’ feeds, many users have seen a decrease in the number of ads they see overall. However, it is hard to prove that the ads are actually being reduced since anecdotal evidence is all that is available at this point.
It was recently rumored that Tesla may be considering introducing a more expensive paid tier with no advertisements. It would likely be aimed at premium users, and would likely increase the cost of using the platform. While this is still unconfirmed, it could prove to be a controversial move for Musk and his company.
Twitter is tweaking its subscription service, Blue, in order to improve the experience for users. Paid subscribers will now receive priority in replies and searches, although the company has stated that this does not violate any ad-related features or promises made to users when subscribing. This change is most likely a response to criticism from customers who feel that Twitter does not provide enough value for their money.
Elon Musk’s recent announcement that Twitter’s algorithmic timeline will only show posts from verified accounts and the people you follow has sparked a lot of backlash among Twitter users. Many feel that this policy unfairly discriminates against non-verified accounts, which are often the voices of everyday people. Others argue that it’s necessary in order to avoid manipulation and deception on social media. It remains to be seen how this policy will affects the way we communicate on Twitter, but for now, users are voicing their opinions online
It seems that Twitter’s Blue subscription plan hasn’t been very successful.despite the widespread availability, most users haven’t subscribed to it. However, due to its high demand, Twitter earns a lot of money through in-app purchases on mobile devices.
