Twitter is experimenting with paid Spaces, which is the platform's take on Clubhouse. The company will let some iOS users sell Twitter Spaces tickets ranging from US$1 to $999. Twitter will be taking a 3% cut of sales and will increase commission based on total earnings. If the host earns over $50,000 using Twitter's monetization features, like Super Follows, the company will charge a 20% fee. As Gizmodo  pointed out, Apple will also get a 30% cut for in-app purchases since the feature is tested with select iOS users.

The company sees this feature as a means for hosts to hold workshops, meet-and-greets, and more. Now, the question is whether people will want to pay for Twitter Spaces is another question.

Twitter tests a dedicated tab for 'Super Follow' tweets

Twitter's upcoming paid Super Follow service is getting a dedicated tab on the app. At least, the company is testing the feature. Developer Nima Owji shared screenshots of the new tab. It will show up for users who offer paid content. It's expected to be available on the web and mobile.

Super Follow gives creators on Twitter a chance to provide exclusive content for USD 4.99 per month. These include exclusive tweets, private Spaces, and exclusive newsletters. Twitter hasn't announced when Super Follow will launch, but it looks like it is working on the backend to get it ready.
