Twitter owner Elon Musk has announced that the company is taking steps to address the issue of frequent and large ads on the platform, but added that users will have to pay more for that subscription.
Musk said on Twitter, “Ads are too much and too big on Twitter. Steps are being taken to address both in the coming weeks. In addition, there will be a higher-priced subscription that allows zero ads.” “
Following Musk’s tweet, a verified account on Twitter called The Rabbit Hole asked, “Can individual users choose to monetize accounts through ads? Currently, advertisers reach users individually; Creating an integrated solution with Twitter will allow Twitter to cut and give creators a way to monetize our content.”
Responding to this, Musk said, “Maybe there is a way to do this by putting an ad below the tweet description.”
Musk also announced that an upcoming update to the micro-blogging platform would make it less mandatory for users to use the “For You” algorithmic timeline.
Musk tweeted, “The next Twitter update will remember whether you were on For You (i.e. Recommended), your Follows or Lists and will stop switching you back to Recommended Tweets.”
Many users expressed their views on his post.
While one user said, “Thank god because it always pushes me back to you, which isn’t useful to me”, another commented, “Thank you because the last thing I want to see is default from an algorithm.” tweet as”.
On Friday, the platform announced that it has begun updating the “For You” and “Following” tabs on Android, which it rolled out to the web interface and iOS last week.
As TechCrunch reports, Musk promised a feature on January 8 that would allow users to easily bookmark tweets, and now the platform is rolling it out on iOS.
The new design displays bookmarks options under the expanded Tweet view which makes it easier for users to add posts to their bookmarks. It’s currently only visible on the iOS app, but it’s expected to roll out to Android and the web soon.
