Twitter testing tipping but tying tips to individual accounts rather than individual tweets is, it me, a miss. Show people a tweet that has received love...make a whole other like button, and let people (if they want) display the tweets they&
#39;ve tipped.
This is effectively "venmo in bio" but simplified. That&
#39;s not a new feature, it&
#39;s streamlining an existing system and making it more culturally OK.
Twitter needs monetization innovation, not little tweaks!!
It&
#39;s inexcusable that Ze Frank launched duckies in 2006 and Reddit has had Gold since 2010 and every other platform was like, "Nah, let&
#39;s lean into datamining our users so people can sell them sandals."
Tip: mention @twtextapp on a Twitter thread with the keyword “unroll” to get a link to it.
