"TweetDeck Renamed X Pro: Now a Paid Subscription Service"

Twitter, now known as X, has started charging users for access to TweetDeck, which has been renamed X Pro. Previously a free service, X announced in July that TweetDeck would become a subscriber-only feature. Users will now have to pay for X Premium, costing $84 a year, to access X Pro. Subscribers will receive additional features such as a blue checkmark on their account, prioritized rankings in replies and search, access to longer posts, and fewer ads. This move comes after Elon Musk acquired Twitter and initiated a rebranding effort, including changes to the names of Twitter's services.
