40% Price Surge for Premium Plus on X

posted  4 hr ago
Premium Plus on X (formerly Twitter) now costs 40% more, the steepest hike since Elon Musk’s acquisition of the platform. Does this signal a shift for crypto enthusiasts on X?

From December 21, Premium Plus subscriptions in the U.S. now cost $22 per month, up from $16. The price rise is mirrored across Europe, Canada, Australia, and the U.K.

According to X, the increase reflects improved features such as an ad-free experience, higher revenue for creators, and dedicated customer support. These upgrades aim to elevate user engagement and content standards, potentially influencing how the crypto community engages with the platform.

As a key player in the cryptocurrency sector, X continues to serve as an essential platform for disseminating information, fostering communities, and tracking market trends.

The Premium Plus subscription price increase could have a diverse impact on X's user base, particularly within the crypto community.

On one side, higher subscription costs might deter casual users, reducing the audience for crypto content. However, the platform’s enhanced features—like ad-free browsing and improved payouts for content creators—could attract a more dedicated user group interested in high-quality interactions.

These updates may cultivate a more focused and engaged crypto audience. Those paying for Premium Plus are likely to actively support discussions, raising the standard of conversations in the crypto community.

The improved revenue-sharing model aims to motivate crypto content creators and influencers to craft richer, more insightful materials, solidifying the ecosystem.

Although Premium Plus’s rising cost might limit access for some, the upgraded features are likely to create a more intentional and well-rounded platform for crypto discussions and content dissemination.

Kraken’s recent report underscores the risks for investors relying on social media advice—85% admitted that FOMO-induced decisions had seriously undermined their financial performance.
