Twitter To Let Users Post Long-Form Tweets and help creators monetize

Elon Musk intends to allow Twitter users to earn more money from all types of content, potentially providing a more favorable deal than YouTube’s monetization model, as well as allowing people to make Long-Form Tweets, lengthier posts and videos.

This weekend, Twitter’s new buyer, Musk, hinted about the latest features in tweets. Musk responded to influencer Quinn Nelson’s tweet that YouTube “gives creators 55% of ad revenue,” saying, “We can beat that.”

Previously, a content creator stated that if given the right incentives, he would consider posting his full-length and long videos to Twitter.

“If twitter could handle the full length feature videos that I produce and can offer a similar monetization system like YouTube does, I would consider uploading my full videos here too for sure,” wrote user @Erdayastronaut, whose Twitter profile reads: “Professional rocket orientation specialist, explainer of flamey stuff and rocket chaser.”

Musk replied, “We can do 42 min chunks at 1080 resolution now for new Blue, so you could break up a longer video. The 42 min limit should be fixed next month.”

Further details on monetization will be revealed in the coming weeks, according to Musk.

He also stated that Twitter will soon allow users to post long-form tweets which will put an end to the idiocy of notepad screenshots which will be followed by composer monetization for every type of content including videos and paragraphs, he further added.

On Saturday, he promised to offer an improved search function on Twitter saying that the search function reminds him of Infoseek in 1998.

When another user complained, “I have hundreds of videos…. But I’d need to reencode them since twitter is extraordinarily picky about formats,” Musk replied, “Noted to fix.” Then He set his Twitter bio as “Twitter Complaint Hotline Operator.”

Twitter declared plans for a monthly $7.99 subscription service on Saturday, allowing anyone on Twitter to get a checkmark similar to the celebrities, industries, and political elites you already follow. According to the New York Times, Twitter is postponing this offer due to concerns that it will be abused.

Twitter also announced an impending premium feature that will allow users to have their tweets prioritized over those from accounts that do not have the blue check.
