Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter/X, is floating an idea that he's had before to remedy the problem of social media bots: charging people to use social media.
I found this neat comment floating on the interwebs
“As someone who has never subscribed to X or Fakebook, I applaud the move. Not sure what if any social redeeming purpose it has other than being a time killing amusement. And if that is the case people should expect to pay for the value of the amusement they are getting. Obviously, advertisers don’t take X that seriously, if they did then the ads would pay enough where X wouldn’t have to charge. Deep State propagandists were more interested in Twitter than advertisers. I always saw that as a problem is which why I never subscribed. Finding unbiased facts on the internet is hard as prospecting for gold.”
