Elon Musk plans to charge new users of the X platform to post, comment and like, which should limit the flow of bots and trolls.
News Fee
The need for paid access
The owner of the X platform, Elon Musk, announced his intention to introduce a small fee for new users for the opportunity posting, commenting and liking. This should be a preventive measure to stem the continuous flow of bots and AI-driven internet accounts. Musk argued for this by the fact that such accounts pass bot detection tests without difficulty.
Transition period
According to Musk, newly created accounts will not have to pay for access to the publication during the first three months of their existence. However, the details of the future policy and the amount of the fee have not yet been announced.
Past experience
Last year, X already introduced a $1 annual fee for new unconfirmed users in New Zealand and the Philippines. In these regions, new accounts could only view content, but not interact with it, without paying a fee. Probably, a similar price policy will be introduced in other countries.
Fight against spam
At the beginning of the month, X started a large-scale cleaning of the platform from spam accounts, warning users about a possible reduction in the number of subscribers. At the same time, information appeared that the social network offers its premium services, including verification marks, even to prohibited groups.

Hey guys! Did you see the news about paid publications in X for new users? 💸 Do you think this will be effective against bots and spam?
Софія
Yes, it looks like this is a move by Musk to combat the endless stream of bots on the platform. Although I think that $1 per year is a good price for the ability to publish content without spam. 🤔
Петро
Well, I don't mind paying a small amount if it helps clean up the platform from harmful content. But the main thing is that this fee is not too high for new users. 💰
Марія
What about verified accounts? Will they also have to pay to publish the content? This can be a challenge for brands and influencers. 🤨
Олексій
I think this is a good idea, but it needs to be carefully thought out and implemented. For example, you can make free publishing for those who actively interact and create valuable content. 💡
Ганна
I support this idea! I hope this will help reduce the amount of spam and low quality content on the platform. Finally, I can read really interesting posts without unnecessary noise. 😊
Віктор
It is surprising that this idea did not occur to Musk earlier. I would also add the ability to temporarily block the account for violating the rules. This would filter out the most toxic users. 💢
Ігор
That old grumbler! 🧓 I think this is a great idea that will add more variety and quality to the platform. New trends and technologies should always be tested in practice. 🚀
Дмитро
It seems to me that this is only a temporary solution to the problem. Bots and trolls will still be able to bypass this system. It is necessary to fundamentally change the approach to content moderation. 🤖
Юрій
Okay, let's not jump to conclusions. This idea has not yet been implemented, so it is difficult to say how effective it will be. Let's wait and see what happens. 🤷 ♂️
Іван
Not sure if this will work long term. Bots are getting smarter and more capable of fooling identity systems. A more comprehensive approach using the latest technologies is needed. 🤖💻
Ольга
I like that Musk is trying to change things and improve the platform. Although it may not be easy, I believe he will find an effective solution to combat bots and spam. 🙌
Андрій
In my opinion, this is just one of the many steps that need to be taken to improve the user experience on X. It is also important to work on the interface, functionality and security of the platform. 💻🔒
Микола
All these new trends are just ridiculous! 😂 Why pay for something that used to be free? I'm too old for this circus. Let the youth deal with these things! 👴
Катерина
I wonder if this will help attract more brands and advertisers to the platform. After all, now the content will be of higher quality and censored. And this can be attractive for business. 💼💰
