Twitter\'s Commitment to Creator Support
The launch of Tip Jar on Android signifies Twitter\'s ongoing commitment to supporting creators and fostering a sustainable ecosystem on its platform. This feature allows creators to directly benefit from their work and build stronger relationships with their audience. Initially, the feature was rolled out to select users, but now Twitter is officially adding a ‘Tip Jar’ feature to the platform for all eligible users. The company first began testing the tipping feature this past May, and now it\'s widely available.
