Under Elon Musk, Twitter is no longer just a microblogging platform. It allows users to post longer tweets so that users can express their viewpoints in a wider way. To take it a step further, the social media giant is working on a new way to allow users to write full blogs with images in between paragraphs.
As noted reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong observed, Twitter has begun working on the ability to include images in the middle of a long tweet. Essentially, it would be like a blog with images between paragraphs, which makes longer tweets more interesting to read. However, since long tweets are only available to Blue subscribers, only paid users will be able to take advantage of the upcoming image feature.
However, the reverse engineer could not ascertain when users would be able to insert images between longer tweets. We hope it won’t take long for it to be available to Blue users.

For contrast, one of the significant advantages of Twitter Blue is that it allows users to write beyond the 280-character limit. Blue subscribers can write tweets up to 10,000 characters long. On top of that, the company will now allow Blu subscribers to add images between paragraphs to make the content more engaging. Individual creators can benefit greatly from this feature.
If you’re a creator, you should also know that Twitter allows you to monetize your content through subscriptions. The best part is that the money you get on the platform will be yours as Twitter will not get a cut. However, Twitter will start taking some of your earnings after 12 months. Creators can offer monthly subscriptions to their followers in the $2.99, $4.99, or $9.99 brackets.
