Twitter is working on a new, more expensive Blue subscription tier that will allow users to browse the platform without seeing ads. \u201cAds are too frequent on Twitter and too big. Taking steps to address both in coming weeks,\u201d Twitter owner Elon Musk tweeted on Saturday afternoon<\/ins><\/a>. \u201cAlso, there will be a higher priced subscription that allows zero ads.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the US, Twitter Blue<\/ins><\/a> currently costs $11 per month when users subscribe directly through the Twitter iOS<\/ins><\/a> or Android app<\/ins><\/a>. On the web, where Apple<\/ins><\/a> and Google\u2019s<\/ins><\/a> up to 30 percent commission on in-app purchases doesn\u2019t apply, the service costs $8 per month. Since Twitter began revamping the subscription in November, the ability to see fewer ads on your timeline has been one of the primary selling points the company has pushed, but that perk is still listed as \u201ccoming soon\u201d when you go to sign up for the service.<\/p>\n

By some estimates, Twitter\u2019s ad revenue has declined precipitously since Musk\u2019s takeover of the company in October. According to a recent report published by The Information<\/ins><\/em><\/a>, a senior Twitter manager told employees this past Tuesday that daily revenue was down 40 percent from the same day a year ago. One internal slide seen by the outlet saw Twitter attribute the decline to the initial relaunch of Twitter Blue, which saw the platform overrun by verified trolls who used the paid verification feature to impersonate brands, celebrities and other notable accounts<\/ins><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
