Twitter stated on Wednesday that the implementation of Super Follows has begun in earnest. Users can charge a monthly fee in exchange for access to additional content, according to the feature, which was first introduced in February. Twitter will take a percentage of the profits.
In an emailed press release, a spokesperson noted: “With Super Follows, people can monetize on complementary, ‘behind the scenes’ footage for their most engaged followers on Twitter.” “In return, these followers get exclusive access to even more of their favorite Twitter conversations and genuine content.”
This new feature, which is currently only available to a small number of Twitter accounts in the United States, allows users to pay artists a monthly membership of $2.99, $4.99 or $9.99. It comes at an interesting time in the realm of online content creation, following the OnlyFans fiasco in August, when the platform tried to restrict sexually explicit content only to backtrack later.
While the idea for Twitter Super Follows had been in the works for a long time before OnlyFans’ August announcement, it’s hard to ignore the fact that it came about shortly after OnlyFans alienated its user base of sex workers.
Will sex workers, on the other hand, benefit from Super Follows? We’ve reached out to Twitter to inquire about the type of moderation that will apply to Super Follow content, but haven’t heard back.
In response, a Twitter oficial responded: “Super Follows is being rolled out gradually for a limited set of users.” “As this product becomes more generally available and we continue to learn and iterate, we will open it up to more users and provide relevant policy details,” the company says.
At a minimum, Twitter will apply the same criteria to content paid for through Super Follows that it applies to other content on your site.
“Any consensually produced and circulated media that is pornographic or intended to cause sexual arousal,” according to Twitter. Users can “post graphic violence and consensually generated pornographic content within their Tweets, as long as they identify this medium as sensitive,” according to the company.
In other words, Super Follows could, in principle, provide an alternative source of income for sex workers who are wary of putting all their eggs in the OnlyFans basket. However, sex worker advocacy groups like Hacking/Hustling have accused Twitter of “banning shadows,” implying that Twitter may not be a welcoming environment after all.
Stripe, an online payment processor used by companies like Instacart and Lyft, is Twitter’s Super Follow payment provider. Stripe has a list of prohibited companies, one of which is “Adult Material and Services,” which requires the company’s prior written consent before using their service.
Even if Twitter doesn’t say anything, we’ll probably soon find out how the business feels about sex workers using Super Follows to make money.
That’s because, starting Wednesday, iOS users in the United States and Canada will be able to Super Follow specific accounts. Twitter claims that it will roll out outside of those nations in the coming weeks (but only for iOS), and that Android and the Twitter website will be supported “soon”.
Whether Super Follows succeeds or fails, like Fleets, will likely be determined by how well content providers of all kinds embrace the tool. When it comes to deciding who can and who can’t use the platform to make money, Twitter has a lot to say.
