OK, it’s time to confess – I have subscribed to Elon Musk’s social network X (formerly Twitter).
“Why are you giving money to the world’s richest man?” shouted my friend.
Admittedly, she had a point, but I did it for two reasons. Firstly, because I was aware of a few fake profiles of me floating around, and subscribing offers verification of sorts.

The reputation of subscribers is so mixed on X that there is an option to hide the “blue tick” that appears by your name once you subscribe.
There’s a profound sense of distaste among some established users about “buying your way in” – gaining extra visibility and profile by paying for it, rather than getting it on merit by posting good content.
I didn’t really expect much to change in terms of my own experience of using the platform. But there are improvements.
The obvious perks are being able to write longer posts and edit them – and I’ve appreciated the reduction in ads. On the other hand, now I’m paying for the service with cold hard cash, I get even more annoyed about the spam and the bots which blight it.
