Musk plans to charge a small fee to new X users to curb zombie account problem
According to BlockBeats, on April 16, Musk said on the social platform that he plans to charge a small fee to new users joining the X platform to curb the problem of zombie accounts. Musk pointed out that the current artificial intelligence and "troll farms" can easily bypass traditional tools such as verification codes, so he believes that charging new users is the only way to prevent robot attacks. He also mentioned that if new users have not paid for three months after creating an account, they will be able to post information for free.
In addition, the X platform began a large-scale cleanup of junk accounts this month and warned users that their number of followers may be affected.
