News & Reviews:   exclusive content

TikTok is now following the subscription trend by bringing one to its platform. After Instagram announced early testing of paid subscriptions, the popular short video app has also been discovered doing limited testing for a feature that will allow creators to charge their fans for exclusive content.

Instagram might start asking you for money soon in order to see your favourite influencers' posts. According to the app's App Store listing, the platform will move away from conventional ads for monetization and launch subscriptions as "different ways to facilitate a financial relationship between a fan and a creator."
