X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, is reportedly testing out annual fees for its non-verified user base.
On Tuesday, the company announced its “Not a Bot” program, applicable to new accounts only.
The program will begin in New Zealand and the Philippines and will cost users $1 per year to be able to post and interact with others’ posts.
However, the annual fee will purportedly be waived if new users sign up for X’s $3.99 per month premium subscription tier.
