TweetDeck now X plus requires pay subscription

Twitter (now X) has started charging users to access TweetDeck (rebranded as X Pro).

The tool lets you view and manage multiple Twitter accounts and is very popular.

It has been one of the most popular tools on X (formerly Twitter) since the add-on launched back in 2008.

Twitter (X) announced in July that TweetDeck, a popular programme that allows users to monitor multiple accounts and lists of users at once, would be available only to “verified” account holders from August.

On Tuesday, users attempting to access the service were required to pay for X’s blue checkmark verification for an annual fee of $84.

The social media firm, bought by billionaire Elon Musk last year, has been thrashing around for ways to make a profit, cutting staff and ramping up its paid-for subscriptions.

Last week, CEO Linda Yaccarino said that the company was “close” to breaking even and would beef up staffing that had been slashed by Musk.

According to AFP, X’s verified users are mostly those who have paid to receive the blue checkmark, though Musk has gifted the verification symbol to some.

TweetDeck, launched more than a decade ago, shows messages in columns and its search and posting functions operate differently to the website or the app.

Twitter bought London-based TweetDeck in 2011, with technology media putting the price tag at $40 million at the time.

In the petition, the prince accused Morgan of desperately trying to contact him against his wish, physically trailing him to his workplace, and publishing defamatory statements against him on her Instagram story.
