https://fortune.com/2023/10/17/twitter-x-charging-new-users-1-dollar-year-to-tweet/amp/ X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, will begin charging new users $1 a year to access key features including the ability to tweet, reply, quote, repost, like, bookmark, and create lists, according to a source familiar with the matter. This change will go live today for new users in New Zealand and the Philippines.

Roughly 20 minutes after this story published, X’s Support account confirmed the details, writing that “this new test was developed to bolster our already successful efforts to reduce spam, manipulation of our platform and bot activity, while balancing platform accessibility with the small fee amount. It is not a profit driver.”

>>1226952 OP is such a faggot not that Elon dick riding is any less gay.
Thing is, I'd rather have a platform that's paid for and not beholden to advertiser dollars or government handout whims.
If you can't afford one dollar then you shouldn't be on social media in the first place.
The only issue is that there will no longer be anonymity.

>>1226952 Oh thank god he's cutting off the tranny basement dwellers from the platform.
Trans is more than 41%, it's 100% dead.
Not to mention the organization, Antifa will have a harder time organizing since not a single one of those poor bitches can afford a single dollar.
LMAO get fucked leftfags.

I might pay now that there will be less trannies though. A dollar a year is nothing to me unlike the organization Antifa, and trannies whose parents are sick of them borrowing money and honestly hope they kill themselves already.

How viable would a paid subscription option that lets you turn off ads and "recommended" posts be?

Disinformation always has been, and continues to be, legally protected speech in America.
This is why the government relies on private business such as social media to enforce their version of the truth, because from a legal standpoint, The US government can not legally enforce this themselves
