Elon Musk says X is fighting bots and spam, and the solution is: $1 subscriptions

The social media platform formerly known as Twitter announced its “Not a Bot” program, saying $1 subscriptions were “the main solution” to bots. The social media platform formerly known as Twitter posted an announcement of the “Not a Bot” program Tuesday evening, saying it was being piloted in New Zealand and the Philippines. Twitter already offers paid subscriptions of $8 a month as part of its X Premium program, formerly known as Twitter Blue, which awards accounts with a blue checkmark badge and several additional abilities, such as editing posts and exceeding character limits. New accounts made within the program that do not opt to pay the $1 annual fee will only be able to make “read only” actions, such as viewing posts, watching videos and following accounts.
