Twitter (X) Comes With Two New Subscription Plans
Recently, I’ve been closely following the developments around Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, which you might remember as Twitter.
Twitter (X) introduced two new subscription plans, and I think it’s worth discussing what this means for users like us.
Firstly, there’s the Premium+ tier. Priced at around $16 per month, it’s designed for those who want the full range of features the platform offers but without the annoyance of ads.
This sounds like a great deal for heavy users who spend a lot of time on the platform and prefer an uninterrupted experience. There’s a catch which is it’s only available for web browser users for now.
Then there’s the Basic tier, which is more wallet-friendly at $3 per month. While it’s not ad-free, it does promise a small boost to your replies.
This could be a subtle way to increase your visibility and engagement on the platform, especially if you’re someone who actively participates in conversations or uses X for professional networking.
What’s really interesting is X’s plan to bundle video and audio calling features. It seems like Musk is steering the platform towards becoming an ‘everything app’, a one-stop-shop for various digital needs.
This move could potentially change how we interact on social media, making X a more versatile tool for communication.
Elon Musk’s approach to extensively monetize the platform, which he acquired for a whopping $44 billion in October 2022, is quite evident with these changes.
It’s a bold strategy, considering the platform’s vast user base and influence. As a user, I’m curious to see how these new subscription models will impact the overall experience on X.
You can check the pricing of X on your country from Twitter’s Pricing Page.
Will these changes enhance user engagement and satisfaction, or will they lead to a divide between paid and free users?
Only time will tell. But one thing is for sure, the social media landscape is evolving, and platforms like X are at the forefront of this transformation
