Elon Musk has indicated that X, formerly known as Twitter, is preparing to charge all users for accessing the platform.
The X owner said erecting a paywall around the business would ward off the bots, or automated accounts, that have become a bugbear for Musk.
Speaking in a meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, the Tesla CEO and world’s richest person suggested that X was going to charge its user base. Currently, Twitter only charges users for its subscription service X Premium, which offers perks such as a verified account checkmark and costs $11 a month in the US for iPhones and £11 in the UK.
Haha, no one is gonna pay to use social media. I don’t use Twitter but you would never get me to pay for absolute garbage brain rot. I’m already on lemmy for that and it’s free.
They want me to pay to be advertised at.
Lol.
to be advertised at & have nazi propaganda pushed on you.
Cable TV…
Its all going back that way isn’t it.
Don’t some people already pay a subscription fee to Twitter?
Yes, they are called idiots. It’s another idiot tax, like gambling.
The lottery is either a tax on stupidity or a tax on hope.
I don’t know which is more depressing.
Hope because the people who really buy lottery tickets on a regular basis want that financial security, winning a lottery would provide.
