Musk to charge new X users $1 a year for basic account
- rudolph9 3y agoI wouldn’t pay it but probably one of X’s better business moves since musk takeover. A dollar is not a deal breaker for most and once you have payment info stored it’s pretty easy to get them to pay for something else.
- xcdzvyn 3y agoNeither. Though honestly, charging nominal fees as an alternative to the current adtech status quo may be for the best.
- throwaway128128 3y ago$1 doesn't mean ad-free.
- phneutral26 3y agoFrom a perspective of a normal user? Awful. Now suddenly you have to pay to TWEET? I don't believe people will take this lightly, especially with the shit X pulled recently. From a perspective of a botter? Probably also awful, but 1$ per year is not something a person in possession of a huge botnet couldn't afford to pay. Especially if X will relax in the comfort of this subscription and ban less accounts. That would make 1$ p/y really rather cheap when you also account for basic computing costs.
