X —formally Twitter— is creating a $1 annual fee for new, unverified users, starting with a trial in New Zealand and the Philippines.
The company says it's a bid to combat bots and scammers.
Gorilla Technology CEO, Paul Spain, said it has the potential to make a difference.
He said that while this may drive some people to move away, it doesn’t impact any existing users in a negative way and reduces the chances they’ll see bots going forward.
