Twitter’s upcoming Super Follows subscription requires an account to have at least 10,000 followers and 25 tweets posted in the last 30 days. Accounts must also meet these requirements during the subscription. This is according to research by data miner Jane Manchun Wong.
Super Follows is an upcoming subscription that popular Twitter accounts can offer to followers. Followers can get additional features with this.

In addition to the minimum number of followers and tweets posted, the owner of an account must be at least 18 years old.
During the registration process, Twitter first explains the Super Follows function. According to Twitter, the function allows followers to offer ‘something extra’, such as ‘a more personal experience with bonus content’. These Super Followers get labels ‘for recognition’, according to Twitter. Presumably these users will see a label when they respond to messages from the account they are subscribed to. Other potential subscriber benefits include exclusive newsletters, tweets, and discounts.

Furthermore, an account must indicate what kind of content it shares, such as gaming, tech, photography or ‘adult content’, which platforms an account uses to share this content with his or her followers and what the account wants to use the Super Follows for. After entering this information, Twitter will review the request for a Super Follows subscription.
