X platform launches "Not A Bot" test, requiring new users to pay to engage in interactive operations.

BlockBeats reported on October 18th that X Platform (formerly Twitter) has launched a new subscription method test called "Not A Bot" in New Zealand and the Philippines. The aim is to further reduce spam, platform manipulation, and bot activity. New users need to complete phone verification and choose a subscription plan. The subscription fee is 1 USD per year (prices vary by country and currency). Subscribed users can post, like, reply, repost, and bookmark posts on the platform. New users who have not subscribed can only perform "read-only" operations, such as reading posts, watching videos, and following accounts.
