Elon Musk announced that he will soon add two new subscription levels for X (formerly Twitter), which will have all the functions of the X Premium Plan and will be differentiated into a cheaper plan with ads, and another more expensive option but without ads.

As was known at the beginning of the month, the owner of the platform already shared in a company briefing meeting his intention to divide the current X Premium subscription plan into three new payment levels that, as he explained, would be differentiated by the number of ads shown in the ‘feed’.

Now, Elon Musk has confirmed that “soon” the social network will launch two new subscription options framed in the current X Premium plan. This means that you will have all the features and benefits of this plan, but they will vary depending on the number of ads.

This was announced through a publication on the social network itself, where it was detailed that one of the new subscription levels will be “lower cost” but without eliminating ads and the other level will be “more expensive” but, in this case, there will be no advertising. Musk, however, has not announced what the price of these payment models will be.

Currently, the X Premium plan is available in Spain from 8 euros per month in the web version and for 11 euros per month in the applications for devices with the iOS and Android operating system.

This announcement comes after the platform reported on the start of a trial of X in New Zealand and the Philippines, where it has launched a new subscription method for new users, which includes charging an annual fee of around $1 for the use of some of the main functions of the platform, such as publishing messages, in order to combat the proliferation of ‘bots’ and ‘spam’.

The cheapest plan with ads offered by the Netflix streaming content platform has exceeded one million users despite its slow start, which is leading this modality to consolidate itself as one of the pillars for the company’s growth.

The company launched its Basic plan with ads in November last year, in exchange for including ads, lowering playback quality, and removing some of the most viewed titles from the catalog.

Netflix sees in this plan one of the pillars for the company’s economic growth, as confirmed to shareholders in January in the document on the financial results for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Then he assured that although it was still early for the announcements, and they had a lot to do, they were satisfied with the first results obtained, after two months of its implementation. Now, it has been known that said subscription had exceeded one million users in the United States.

Specifically, the Basic plan with ads grew more than 500 % in the first month and 50 %. And according to the company, those who access this new plan are mainly new users or those whose subscription has expired.

The potential of the Basic plan with ads is yet to be seen now that the company has begun to dismantle account sharing at Netflix, a decision to which it links paid shared accounts, which are the other pillar it relies on for growth.

Twitter owner Elon Musk has announced that there will be a “higher-priced” subscription option for users who want an ad-free version of the service.

The subscription without ads is one of the novelties that the owner of the social network is proposing to increase the income of the platform. Daily revenue is down 40% from the previous year, and one of its core businesses, advertising, is not going through its prime, with more than 500 advertisers divesting.

For the moment, Musk seeks to circumvent the situation by implementing payment plans, such as Twitter Blue, which gives access to additional functions, or the business version. To them will be added another one that will allow you to get rid of the ads.

In this sense, the tycoon said through a publication on his Twitter profile that, within the paid version, there will be a “higher-priced subscription that will allow zero ads.”

Likewise, Musk criticized that the ads are “too frequent” and “too big” on the social network, for which he has assured that they are taking measures to “address both” problems in the coming weeks.

It is expected that they will redesign this content to make it less intrusive and more attractive to the audiovisual community, as he assured in the response to a user.

This announcement comes after the confirmation that Twitter no longer allows the operation of the platform in third-party applications such as TweetBot or Twitterrific. The termination is due to the breach by these of the rules of its application programming interface (API), which the company has recently updated.

A team of cybersecurity analysts found a Trojan capable of issuing paid subscriptions and stealing WhatsApp accounts in a modified application of this messaging platform.

Kaspersky researchers have found references to a malware called Triada integrated into a ‘mod’ of the service developed by Meta, whose fraudulent version is called YoWhatsApp.

A mod is a transformed version of a program or an application that provides functions that the official services do not offer, such as new settings, maps or characters in the case of video games.

In the case of WhatsApp, mods often offer alternative options to the original application, such as wallpapers, custom fonts for chats, and password-protected access to certain conversations, among other features.

According to the investigations of this cybersecurity company, more than 3,600 users would have been exposed to this cyber threat in the last two months by downloading YoWhatsApp, an application advertised on Snaptube and also distributed through Vidmate.

Kaspersky believes that the success of this mod is due precisely to the fact that both applications, used by thousands of people around the world, advertise it. However, he thinks that it is most likely that even his developers were not aware of this danger.

The messaging application Telegram prepares the launch of subscriptions that, for a reduced price, will allow users not to receive advertising, a function that will begin to reach the platform’s large channels this November.

This was announced through his personal Telegram channel by the founder of the application, Pavel Durov, who specified the company’s plans and has specified how the ads will arrive on the messaging network.

As the application had already announced at the end of October, its own advertising platform that will begin to show sponsored messages on public channels with more than a thousand subscribers, with a maximum of 160 characters, will be released this November.

Now, following requests from the user community, Telegram indicated that users will be able to deactivate these advertisements from the channels, and that the company is already working on this in new “economic subscriptions.”

By paying for these subscriptions, users will be able to support the development of this messaging application and will not receive advertising on their accounts in return.

The ability to disable advertising on Telegram will also be available to channel owners, who can choose not to show ads to their members. Durov acknowledged that the company is still “calculating” the economic impact of this alternative.

In none of the cases will these ads appear in Telegram’s personal chats or in the application’s list of conversations, as recognized by the CEO, who assures that they will only reach large channels.
