She took to Twitter and revealed the “Tip Jar” feature on the users profile. Wong also said that when the user clicks on the button, they’ll be able to pay the users by Bandcamp, Patreon, Venmo, Cash App and PayPal.
Wong back in March also tweeted that Twitter is working towards the same feature for their another company Spaces which is a Clubhouse-like social audio room. However, Twitter hasn’t formally announced the tipping feature yet.
RIP Twitter Went Viral In February Against Monetisation
Back in February this year, Twitter faced a controversial wrath of their users when “RIP Twitter” was trending on the platform. This was after a new Twitter feature came out called “Super Follower” which would let the famous personalities charge their followers for their tweets. This would further help Twitter generate revenue.
Super Follower tool would only be beneficial for the ones who have a huge number of followers. For the ones who don’t, it wouldn’t beneficial unless they reach the targeted numbers.
During its Analysts Day virtual event, Twitter spoke about its decisions to better monetize the platform for the Creators and Publishers which can be supported directly by their audience.
