X formerly known as Twitter, stated that it will begin a new experiment in which “new unverified” users will be charged a $1 per year price to engage with postings. According to the corporation, this test is presently underway in New Zealand and the Philippines, and existing users will be unaffected.

Users that pay the charge will be able to post material, like, repost, respond, bookmark, and quote posts. New free users will only receive a read-only account that allows them to view posts and follow accounts.

According to the company’s help account, the “Not A Bot” application is not a profit generator. Instead, the corporation said that this program will assist it in reducing spam. The corporation stated on its support page that it will reveal the findings of the program’s efficiency in combating spam.
