X Moves X Pro Behind $40/Month Premium+ Paywall With No Notice to Users

Social network X is now limiting X Pro access to customers who subscribe to the X Premium+ plan, which is priced at $40 per month (or $33/month when paid annually). X Pro is a multi-column web interface for managing multiple feeds and lists.

x pro premium plus
X Pro was known as TweetDeck before Elon Musk bought Twitter, and it was free to use. Before March 26, X subscribers with the standard $8/month Premium plan were able to use X Pro, and now X is requiring a plan that's 5x more expensive.

No notice was provided to X Pro users about the change and access was suddenly cut off, leading to multiple complaints on the social network. On its website, X says features included in Premium "are subject to change at any time as we continue to improve the service." The X Help center clearly states that access to X Pro is now limited to the Premium+ tier.

X has three subscription tiers: Basic for $3/month or $32/year, Premium for $8/month or $84/year, and Premium+ for $40/month or $395/year. Basic still includes ads, Premium has half the number of ads, and Premium+ has no ads except for sponsored content. Paid plans provide vanity blue checkmarks that used to serve as an actual account verification method prior to Musk's takeover.

Other premium features include expanded post reach, post editing, longer post length, and longer video uploads.

Amazing how stubborn the general population is. Bluesky is basically twitter from 8-10 years ago and barely anyone uses it. People actually pay for X which is laughable.

I started using Twitter in 2008 and would never pay for the garbage the platform has become.

Around 600m on X, but that number fluctuates and is probably not very trustworthy.

600m accounts on X, likely a noticeable portion are not exactly active (I still have one, have not tweeted/favorited/etc. in many years, look at it once in a blue moon to search for something - they make looking at another account's chronological post history difficult without being logged in), and a much larger portion of that total is bots and "definitely your super patriotic US neighbors" who oddly seem to be posting from Russia or China or similar IP addresses. I'd be a bit surprised if the active, engaged population on Twitter (who weren't just reading swill from those misinformation accounts) was even a tenth of that 600 million.
