X May Charge New Users a 'Small Fee' to Post, Like and Reply

[maxoakland]

Most of the relentless bots are blue check verified and already paying monthly! This guy doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing

Fraudsters have unlimited bots and credit card numbers at their disposal. So this looks like it will be just another income stream.

It's not about the money of course, it's about you having to give your credit card info to yet another service just to post some silly tweet.

I would much rather use a service, that I need to put a credit card down to prove i'ma human rather than trudge through bot responses to tweets.

The ultimate plan is to charge every person on Earth a small fee every time they word the letter "X"

 

[TJFDenver]

Rumor has it that MR is also considering this power play

That is going to be the death nail on X. IF they charge new users for dumb things like that, they are going to lose a ton of audience.

Elon has mastered the art of death by a thousand cuts.

Yeah, you've got that right

First charging $1/yr to try to curb bots off the platform, and now this

Man how I miss the old Twitter; and because of that, I haven't touched it since Musk took over with all of this nonsense

there really shouldn't be any pushback or negative comments regarding this. I think it's a good idea. it's not even a big deal about a possible $1 fee per year for new users or wait 3 months if you don't want to be able to post. I highly doubt people are going to go off twitter, because of a $1 fee a year for new users. This doesn't even affect current users.

The 3-month waiting period for what is supposed to be a constant stream of information will definitely affect users.

Posting on Truth Social is free. Just a different cesspool.

I recently joined X and I joined in on debates etc but mainly just found myself talking to myself with getting the odd few likes so I've lost interest and just deleted the app.

I must admit, I found it was making me angry with the various news stories seemingly pushed towards me to get a reaction. I've also deleted the apps for Facebook & Instagram and feel way better for it.

I think he will lose a lot of customers charging a fee and it will probably do those people the world of good!

He's probably just trying anything to raise his compensation. I always wonder how medicated he is when he makes his decisions.

I just took a look at the app. I seem to have about the same number of followers as I had before the buyout, although it's down from the time of the pandemic. It's not likely that the group I know is posting that much now because it's almost impossible to see through the crap.

Gone are the days when I just followed a few companies for updates on products.

The new user fee will push away anyone who is on the fence about joining. If they can't deal with the change of prices since the pandemic, they're not likely to pay a fee to join X.

people complain about x and its owner, yet they continue to use the site to "defend democracy", when in reality the rest of the alternatives are a pile of steaming poo.

 

[AriaAmaris]

Yep! What I said was exactly what happened.

you mean making botters pay isn't a good thing?

lol

from zero to...zero?

yeah I'm sure Twitter was flushed with cash and doing so well before Elon took over.
