X, Formerly Twitter, to Start Charging New Users to Use the Site

From a perspective of a normal user? Awful. Now suddenly you have to pay to TWEET? I don't believe people will take this lightly, especially with the shit X pulled recently.

From a perspective of a botter? Probably also awful, but 1$ per year is not something a person in possession of a huge botnet couldn't afford to pay. Especially if X will relax in the comfort of this subscription and ban less accounts. That would make 1$ p/y really rather cheap when you also account for basic computing costs.

I love how SF Gate keeps the passive aggressiveness alive on Twitter's name change to X.
