X Introduces $1 Annual Fee for New Users

X, formerly known as Twitter, will start charging new users $1 per year to access key features such as tweeting and retweeting. The fee is aimed at reducing spam, manipulation, and bot activity on the platform. Existing users are not affected by this change. X also offers a premium subscription service called X Premium, which provides additional features for $8 per month. The move to a paid subscription model has been suggested by X owner Elon Musk as a way to combat bots. Some users have expressed concerns about sharing their credit card information.
