In a recent announcement, Elon Musk, CEO of X, confirmed a significant change in the platform's policy.
Henceforth, all new users will be required to pay a "small fee" before gaining access to basic features such as posting, liking, or bookmarking content.
This decision marks a notable shift in X's approach to user engagement and revenue generation. Musk did not disclose the specific amount of the fee or the rationale behind the decision.
However, industry experts speculate that this move could be aimed at curbing spam accounts, enhancing user experience, or boosting the platform's financial sustainability.
The announcement has sparked mixed reactions among users, with some expressing concern over potential barriers to entry for new users, while others view it as a necessary measure to maintain the platform's quality and integrity.
