Although the latest news about Twitter imply the dismissal of almost half of its staffthe designers of the new platform are working on features that could be released soon and that will allow greater profitability.

an idea you had Elon Musk to monetize the Twitter acquisition is to try to pay 8 dollars a month to keep the blue checkbut they are also working on improving the direct messages or categorize certain tweets.

Although, the latter idea would make users, for a small fee, they could interact directly with their favorite celebrities in order to send messages, voice notes or videos. This will then be seen if it will be within the subscription of Twitter Blue.

And it is that according to The New York Times, Twitter is working on paid direct messages to allow users to communicate with their favorite celebrities or famous users who have the famous blue checks.

These messages would cost “a few dollars per direct message” and part of that money (a small percentage), would go to Twitter. Obviously, the celebrity or person who made this monetization possible would take the other financial part.

Messages to celebrities would be a priority in the inbox

As you can understand, only famous users and public figures can choose to receive paid direct messages that are waiting to be answered and that have a prominent place in their inbox.

However, the aforementioned outlet commented that there is no guarantee that this feature will finally launch, and that it will always be one of many bets that will benefit quickly after Elon Musk’s expensive contract.

It remains to be seen if this would be added to the Twitter Blue subscription, at least with a limited number of publications. Finally, it would be nice if users could pay to communicate with celebrities by paying for direct messages, although of course nothing ensures that the celebrity in question is responding, and not the Community Manager who manages the account.
