Lots of chatter about Twitter possibly adding a feature to allow accounts to charge for access to their content.
I don’t think folks understand that they aren’t talking about paying to see someone’s tweets.
They’re talking about additional content beyond tweets.

There are a lot of passionate journalists, activists and writers on here who are kept from creating more content by needing to pay the bills.
I’m just a person who tweets.
There are a lot of people who produce valuable content though - or would if they could afford it.

I posted a few weeks ago that the volume of stuff I have posted in the past four years - valueless though it may have been - is the equivalent of 15 novels.
I would absolutely pay some accounts the equivalent of a cup of coffee a month to create additional content I value.

...because I know how much time, effort and thought goes into writing anything let alone something thoughtful, researched and informative.
Weird to me that Twitter has evolved into a place where people lament low wages while also laughing at the idea of paying for others’ work.
