Latest updates
Over the last year Twitter has implemented multiple new features which are aimed both at creating new spaces to share with other users, as is the case with communities, and at generating income for the content that is published.
One of these features is Twitter Spaces, spaces that users can create to chat with other people and via audioin real time, and once completed it can be published so that other users can listen to it as a podcast.
In addition to the basic function, it has an option to create spaces whose access is possible by paying what would be the equivalent of a ticket and whose price can be set by the person who creates the Space.
Twitter also created what they called communities which are designed so that users with common interests can dialogue and post content without necessarily appearing in your public feed.
