Twitter is now opening its doors for you to test features and get paid for it

Social media platform Twitter has opened applications from users who want to be the first to test new content subscription and ticketing features – a new way for users to earn money.

Twitter users can apply to get first access to “Super Follows,” which will let them sell exclusive content to paying subscribers, as well as a brand new feature called “Ticketed Spaces,” which allows users to charge for entry into audio chat rooms they host on the platform.

Both features are part of Twitter’s plan to compete with other social media companies such as Facebook and Clubhouse to attract more influential content creators by letting them earn money from fans and followers.

As part of the criteria, users must have at least 10,000 followers on Twitter to be eligible to apply for Super Follows, and at least 1,000 followers to apply for first access to Ticketed Spaces.

Twitter hits pause on verification requests

Twitter says it is aiming to hire “a diverse set of voices,” from the applications.

The company will take a 3% cut of a creator’s revenue until the user hits $50,000 in earnings.

From there, Twitter will bump up its commission to 20%, in order to help up-and-coming creators earn more money at the start.

Twitter will focus on individuals who apply for the features, but will also consider brands, publishers, and nonprofit organisations which have built an audience on the social media platform.

Global memory chip shortage raises electronics prices; impacts PCs, smartphones, and likely continues until 2026.

A severe global shortage of memory chips is sending shockwaves through the electronics industry, causing prices to rise across consumer devices. Experts warn that this shortage will continue until at least 2026, affecting everything from PCs to smartphones.

Major manufacturers, including Samsung Electronics, have reported record profits but caution that rising memory chip prices could put further pressure on the sector. This shortage is largely driven by AI technology demands, forcing companies to rethink production priorities.

Consumers should expect higher costs for electronics in the coming months, with price increases likely to continue through the end of 2026.
