10,000 characters constitute roughly 2,000 words, which is a lot for most casual users on Twitter. This character length limit is, thus, meant for people who want to write more. For example, stories and essays. This approach falls in line with Twitter’s latest rebranding of ‘Super Follows’ to ‘Subscriptions’. As a new way to monetize long-form tweets, Twitter will let creators charge their followers up to $10 for exclusive content, including stories and essays that will be available only to Blue subscribers.
Apply to offer your followers subscriptions of any content, from longform text to hours long video!
Just tap on “Monetization” in settings.

In other words, if you pay for Twitter Blue, you could potentially use the newly-introduced 10,000-character limit to lure your followers toward long-form content and charge them for it. It is a simple ‘pay-to-earn’ system, although Subscriptions will be available to everyone. Musk announced that Twitter will not cut any commission on the earnings, so if you should get 70 percent of the total revenue on mobile apps and 92 percent on the web (after deducting Google and Apple’s fee on Android and iOS and payment processing charges on the web).
