Twitter fees come Saturday -- but not for all

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:54:17 GMT

Businesses and brands will have to pay up to $1,000 monthly.But not all, apparently.Variety reports that Twitter will waive the $1,000 monthly fee for its 500 largest advertisers.It will also drop the fee for the 10,000 most-followed businesses, brands and organizations.And that includes Twitter itself.Musk clearly wants it both ways. He wants more money coming in the door, and charging people for checkmark affirmation is seen as one way to do that.But he doesn't want to bite the hand that feeds, so hundreds of big advertisers are off the hook.He also wants to maintain a semblance of integrity for the platform, so Musk is giving thousands of top brands a get-out-of-jail-free card.That is, he's sucking up to the likes of YouTube, NASA, ESPN...
