Twitter Inc. Chief Executive Officer Jack Dorsey said Wednesday that helping users make money from their followers is a key part of the company’s effort to build subscription products and diversify revenue.
“The first thing we want to focus on is that economic incentive to people who are contributing to Twitter,” Dorsey said at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference. “That can come through a regular subscription, that can come through content unlock, that can come through tipping. There is a host of things and right now we are just studying and prioritizing what those things look like.”
