In earnest, it's far too early to tell whether or not Twitter Blue is going to worth the added cost. Particularly with social media, it's hard to imagine a world in which paying for a free service is worth it, even for the paltry price of $2.99 per month.

However, with social media trending towards paid services, Twitter could be establishing itself on the ground floor of an innovative movement. After all, the platform just launched the Tip Jar feature, alluding to a financially-driven future for the app.

If all goes according to plan, Twitter could set itself up to shirk the infamously unpopular data-mining practices of the industry, particularly with companies like Google and Apple throwing up road blocks to the sketchy methodology for making money.

Paying for social media is going to be a tough barricade to break down after a decade and a half of cost-free scrolling. But hey, maybe it'll be the push some of us need to go outside and enjoy social interactions the old fashioned way again.
