I'm not a twitter user, but do/could they have a "advanced features for power-users" setup where they charge? Basically, if you have > 10,000 followers, you get a set of features that not everyone has if you pay up? That would incentives them not to leave, while also asking them to pay up

They essentially have that already - verified accounts have special features but Twitter gives those away for free.

Seems weird its free, verified/verifying users could be a great service for lots of people. It could be a good way to make money too.
