Well, that might deal with &quot;buying followers&quot;. But my personal pet idea for paying for twitter would be something like reddit gold: a slight premium tier, but not necessarily paid for by the account holder. Encourage people to pay for the accounts of people they like. Heck, provide a &quot;micro&quot; donation system alongside it (although this runs into problems, Twitch passim)<p>Also, a lot of people would like a better anti-abuse system and some might be prepared to pay for it.
