Twitter Will Introduce Per-Article Charging Option to Publishers in May, Says Elon Musk

variety.com:

McKinley Franklin editor Elon Musk announced Saturday that Twitter will allow media publishers to charge users on a per-article basis in the near future.

The new feature will let media publishers allow users to acquire access to articles for a one-time fee, as opposed to purchasing a full subscription. “Rolling out next month, this platform will allow media publishers to charge users on a per article basis with one click,” Musk tweeted. “This enables users who would not sign up for a monthly subscription to pay a higher per article price for when they want to read an occasional article.” Musk anticipates that the new Twitter feature will be a “win-win” for readers and media publishers.

Other details about the upcoming feature remain unclear, such as the percentage of each transaction that Twitter will take as commission.

There is also no official launch date revealed or clarification about which accounts and media outlets will be able to qualify for the feature.
