Twitter is one of the largest microblogging platforms in the world where many users can also do business, learn, and create content for others. This could be good news for content creators that Twitter has officially launched the next tier of its creator’s payment program in the form of a new “Tip Jar” feature that allows users to send money or donate as favorite influencers mean their efforts that they undertook in creating the content. However, few accounts can get the money from the users, but the users who use this platform in English can now send their money to their favorite accounts.
Twitter decided to test this feature for the benefit of the developers as they link their PayPal accounts and add $ cash tags and venmo handles to their profile so that people can support them financially. The idea is more than just becoming a follower or tweeting or liking their accounts. Other platforms like YouTube also have this feature which allows subscribers to donate creators via Super Chat while they are streaming live. This is the best idea to support your work. Many teens receive inspiration to create their own content, especially during the quarantine situation.
This feature is being introduced on mobile apps from Android and iOS devices and is easy to use. Initially, only a select group, including creators, journalists, and nonprofits, can turn on the tip feature to accept donations from users. To enable this feature, you can edit the Edit Profile on Twitter for iOS and Android option, then click the “Tip Glass” feature, then switch to the setting, tap “Allow Tips” and then select the third-party service you get want. Note, however, that if you try to add a third-party payment service to your profile, your username for this service will be publicly linked to your Twitter account.
There are a few issues that Rachel Tobac highlights. Currently, by sending funds through PayPal using the Tip Glass feature, anyone sending the money can view the recipient’s address. This is a worrying security problem that PayPal and Twitter are about to solve. Twitter’s support center accepted the issue and tweeted that it is updating our tip prompt and Help Center to make it transparent that other apps can exchange information between people sending or receiving the money as per the terms.
