Twitter To Acquire Scroll, A Subscription Ad-Blocking Service
https://www.nytimes.comTwitter plans to acquire the subscription service Scroll. Scroll charges its users a fee to block advertising on participating news websites, then distributes a cut of its earnings to its partner publishers.
Twitter plans to integrate the service into its platform, and use its technology to build other subscription services.
Twitter says it will also be winding down Scroll’s news aggregator product, Nuzzel, but will work to bring some of Nuzzel’s core elements to Twitter over time.
