Twitter says that it will not take a commission on whatever a creator earns on the platform for the first year.

Twitter CEO Elon Musk said for the first year creators, will receive whatever money the platform receives. That equates to, 70 percent for subscriptions on iOS and Android (they charge 30 percent) and 92 percent on web (could be better, depending on payment processor).

Musk said that after the first year, "iOS and Android fees drop to 15 percent and we will add a small amount on top of that, depending on volume".

Twitter will also help promote a creators work, and they would be free to leave at anytime with whatever they have uploaded to the platform.
