To ensure that everyone has an equal chance of securing username handles, Twitter is considering auctioning them off to increase revenue.
Auctioning Twitter Username Handles
The New York Times and Reuters reported that Twitter has considered selling username handles as a means of generating additional revenue.
Last month, Elon Musk (Twitter CEO) mentioned in a tweet his intention to delete or as he described it “freeing the name space” of at least 1.5 billion inactive users on the platform. He didn’t mention at that time his intention of selling or auctioning username handles.
