Twitter is aiming to reduce its dependency on advertising in order to generate revenue. In an attempt to make that happen, the microblogging giant is working on two new features which will launch later this year. One of the two features is "Super Follow" - which will allow users to charge their followers for exclusive content. There is a wide range of things that Twitter classifies as exclusive content. Let's dive in to see some more details on the new features and when can we expect the changes to arrive.

The features were announced at Twitter's Analyst Day Event. As mentioned earlier, users will be able to charge their followers for exclusive content which includes bonus tweets, newsletter subscriptions, access to community groups, videos, exclusive deals, a badge indicating support, and more. In an example screenshot as shared below, a user is being charged $4.99 per month in order to receive a wide range of benefits. This will give publishers and creators the opportunity to be paid directly by their followers. Here's what the company said regarding the feature.
