X tests charging new users $1 to tweet, retweet::The Elon Musk-owned company said it was an effort to combat bot activity and “manipulation,” with the rollout beginning in the Philippines and New Zealand.
If you really want to curb the bots, you charge them 94,50 per tweet and they can only pay it in cash.
Yeah a $1 entry fee is not a bot barrier, it just consolidates the bot business to players with deep pockets.
10 bots on a single post are still incredibly disruptive.
