So much for free speech on X; Musk confirms new users must soon pay to post

The fee, likely $1, is aimed at stopping “relentless” bots, Musk said.

@arstechnica the bot thing is bs, he has proven for a long long time he doesn’t care. If Musk wants to build Twitter into a super app, he needs people to add their credit card details to the service. This is not the dumbest way to achieve that… but it comes at a price for growth. Looks more like desperation to me, but let’s see.
