TIME.CO, Jakarta – Platform means of social communication Elon Musk’s X, formerly known as Twitter, said on Tuesday it will test a new subscription model that will charge an annual fee of US$1 for basic features.
A new subscription billed as “Not a Bot” will charge users for liking, reposting or citing other accounts’ posts and bookmarking posts on the web version of the platform.
The purpose of introducing the new subscription model is to combat bots and spammers, X said, adding that costs will vary from country to country based on exchange rates.
X said the new method will initially be available to users in New Zealand and the Philippines.
In this test, existing users were not affected. But new users who don’t want to sign up will only be able to view and read posts, watch videos and follow accounts.
Announcement
Robots have been a controversial issue for Elon Musk, who acquired the company last year. In July, X introduced limits on the viewing of tweets, “to ensure the authenticity” of its user base.
Earlier this month, Reuters reported, citing sources, that X CEO Linda Yaccarino met with X’s financiers. She said the company would test three tiers of subscription services based on volume announcement displayed to the user.
