Twitter's New Strategy: Promoting Only Paid Users' Tweets, Says Elon Musk.

Twitter will promote only the tweets of users paying its £8 monthly subscription service, according to Elon Musk. From April 15, the “For you” tab on the site will feature only “verified accounts” to address advanced AI bot swarms taking over. Voting in polls on the site will also require verification. Existing users with verification badges will lose them unless they pay the monthly fee. Musk had previously proposed requiring users to pay a fee to vote in polls. Twitter still offers special service to a hand-picked list of 35 VIPs, including Musk himself, who are artificially promoted on the platform’s algorithmic feeds.
