This is what Elon Musk recently confirmed on Twitter. The whole thing should come in the form of a new paid subscription. However, the exact conditions for the offer are not yet certain, and the group is probably in the middle of drawing up the new plans. In the end, though, things went quickly.
Twitter needs to make money – that much is clear. The company recently made the headlines when it failed to pay rent for its offices and instead began selling inventory. Even before the takeover, Twitter was already in a bad financial position. The new management has therefore applied the red pen. After the takeover, important advertising customers will also stay away.
Now CEO Elon Musk is addressing user complaints about too much advertising. Advertising is the network’s most important source of income, and Musk does not want to do without it. But there will be an option to buy an ad-free Twitter as a user, Musk announces.
There have already been hints
“Steps” will now be taken to address the problem of excessive advertising on Twitter. The advertising itself is currently taking up too much space. Finally, Musk confirmed that there will be a new, more expensive subscription tier that will remove ads entirely. There have been considerations about this for a long time, but it has not yet become concrete. Musk had already indicated in mid-December 2022 that a completely ad-free subscription could be introduced this year.
At the time, Musk also said the plan was for Twitter Blue subscribers on their current plan to see half as many ads as current free users.
