It’s already starting btw: “New users in the Philippines and New Zealand are the first to be asked for an annual payment in the latest change to the platform.”
Real glad I’ve been off Twitter for over a year now.

lol, $1 is going to stop people from paying for bots?
In theory, you could leverage unique credit card accounts to sift out real people from fakes. After all, if you see 1000 accounts under one credit card, you can be reasonably confident that there aren’t 1000 unique users underneath.
That said, unique personal identifiers are also highly sensitive precisely because we use them to conduct financial transactions. Handing Elon my credit card info is an invitation to have him fumble it (or simply rack up a bunch of extra charges and fees) such that I’m overwhelmed with fraudulent transactions. I’d as soon give him my SSN or my driver’s license number.
He wants those too. Business users already have to provide them and they can be requested as part of ban appeal
Insane.
there are services which provide hundreds of virtual cards in bulk for verification and stuff, you can type any name you want in the field and itll still go through.
TIL.
Isn’t it his business plan to artificially amplify political messages and racial hatred for $8 a month?
It’s going to stop more real people than bots lmao. I’m never going on that shit again if I have to pay.
