☆ Twitter users could soon be able to pay to DM 'Very Important Tweeters' thanks to a new feature, report says
  + stars: | 2022-11-04 | by ( Kate Duffy | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Elon Musk's Twitter is working on a paid direct messaging feature, the NYT reports. Twitter users would pay a few dollars to send a message to a "Very Important Tweeter," per the report. According to two people familiar with the plans and internal documents seen by The Times, Twitter is working on paid direct messaging to verified users referred to as "Very Important Tweeters." These paid direct messages would land in a separate area of the "Messages" section on Twitter, the report said. "Very Important Tweeters" would then select which paid messages they want to receive, The Times said.
☆ Twitter will let government accounts keep their blue ticks for free under Elon Musk's new paid verification plans, report says
  + stars: | 2022-11-03 | by ( Pete Syme | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Government accounts will not have to pay Twitter's new $8 verification fee, Bloomberg reports. One of Elon Musk's first moves as Twitter's owner has been to draw up plans for paid verification. Many governments around the world have hundreds of verified Twitter accounts across numerous departments, and paying for all those accounts to stay verified could prove expensive, possibly placing an additional — admittedly small — burden on taxpayers. Elon Musk's plan to let anybody have the verification symbol for payment is expected to come into action next week. The verification fee is one of Musk's many plans to change things up at the company.

Yoel Roth, head of safety at Twitter, has posted several threads to Twitter discussing how the company is combating this. Finchem called upon Musk personally for help in a tweet, and Musk said in a reply on Twitter that he was "looking into" the matter.

☆ Breakingviews: Twitter deal sadly upholds primacy of shareholders
  + stars: | 2022-10-28 | by ( Lauren Silva Laughlin | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
After more than six months of ping-ponging, second-guessing, whistleblowing, arguing and mud-throwing, Elon Musk on Thursday closed his $44 billion deal to buy Twitter (TWTR.N). The social media firm, its employees, its new owners, its creditors and the rest of the world are probably worse off. If Twitter shares had followed the same trajectory as social media rival Snap (SNAP.N) since March 31, losing more than 80%, its investors would be some $38 billion worse off. If capitalism is about maximising value for the almighty shareholder, regardless of the consequences for other stakeholders, the Twitter saga upholds that primacy. loadingCONTEXT NEWSElon Musk completed his deal to buy social media firm Twitter for $44 billion on Oct. 27.

☆ Twitter said its most active users are in 'absolute decline' and that there's a 'devastating' loss of interest in fashion and celebrities: Reuters
  + stars: | 2022-10-26 | by ( Matthew Loh | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Twitter's most active users are declining, the company wrote in an internal report, Reuters reported. This dwindling population of active users generates half of Twitter's global revenue, the report added, per Reuters. Interest in cryptocurrencies peaked in late 2021, but subsided after this summer's crypto crash, Twitter's internal report added, per Reuters. However, the US has at least 83.4 million active Twitter users, supplying the most users out of any country, according to DataReportal, citing data collected in July by Singapore-based digital consultancy Kepios. The UK has at least 19.8 million active Twitter users, per DataReportal.
☆ Exclusive: Twitter is losing its most active users, internal documents show
  + stars: | 2022-10-25 | by ( Sheila Dang | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +6 min
The reality, according to internal Twitter research seen by Reuters, goes far beyond the handful of examples of celebrities ghosting their own accounts. Twitter was motivated to investigate “disturbing” trends among users that may have been masked by overall growth in daily active users and better understand the decline in the company’s most active users, the documents said. Twitter’s most active English-speaking users were also increasingly interested in cryptocurrencies, reaching an all-time high in late 2021, the internal documents showed. ‘DEVASTATING’ LOSSESTopics that have traditionally made Twitter a popular platform for its millions of users are now in decline among the most active English-speaking users, the documents show. But the categories have since lost the highest number of heavy Twitter users and have shown no signs of recovery, the report said.

The reality, according to internal Twitter research seen by Reuters, goes far beyond the handful of examples of celebrities ghosting their own accounts. These "heavy tweeters" account for less than 10% of monthly overall users but generate 90% of all tweets and half of global revenue. Cryptocurrency and "not safe for work" (NSFW) content, which includes nudity and pornography, are the highest-growing topics of interest among English-speaking heavy users, the report found. Twitter was motivated to investigate "disturbing" trends among users that may have been masked by overall growth in daily active users and better understand the decline in the company's most active users, the documents said. Our overall audience has continued to grow, reaching 238 million mDAU in Q2 2022," the spokesperson said, using an acronym for monetizable daily active users.

Competitor Meta Platforms (META.O) is aiming to double the percentage of recommended content that fills its users' feeds on Facebook and Instagram by the end of 2023, it disclosed in July.
