Twitter Turns Up the Heat on Creativity and Safety
Bitcoin Tipping: Give Your Favorite Voices a Digital “Thank‑You”
Twitter now lets users tip creators with Bitcoin, expanding the once exclusive digital‑payment feature to all iOS users worldwide. The move is part of its strategy to keep creators cozy – and cashier – in a sea of competing platforms.
Spaces Fund: Turning Voice Rooms into “Paid‑Talk” Playgrounds
- Financial support for hosts of recurring audio sessions.
- Technical help to polish production quality.
- Marketing muscle to attract sponsorships.
Safeguarding the Social Space
- Real‑time “heated‑conversation” alerts so users can decide whether to stay or step away.
- Easy thread‑exit options for those ready to cut the noise.
- Word‑filtering in replies to curb name‑calling and abuse.
Show‑Off Your NFT Style
Twitter will soon support NFT authentication, letting users verify and flaunt blockchain‑based artworks, images, and videos on their profiles.
Why This Matters
With these upgrades, Twitter is aiming to keep the creative crowd glued instead of drifting to Facebook, YouTube, or other rivals. They’re also working hard to earn the trust of users tired of endless polarizing debates.
“We want to keep conversations that matter going, without the drama,”
— Esther Crawford, product lead for creator monetization.
