X, AKA the social network formerly known as Twitter, may be planning to offer more premium subscription tiers. Apparently, the code in the app indicates that X could split its premium tier into three separate tiers, Premium Basic, Premium Standard, and Premium Plus.
Premium basic lists “full ads” in the For You feed, while Premium Standard says it has “half ads” in For You. Premium Plus says there will be no ads in For You. It appears that all of the tiers will continue to show ads in replies. Revenue from reply ads is used for paying content creators on the social network.
The news comes from a tweet from X user @aaronp613:
Currently, a Premium subscription is priced at $8 per month or $84 per year, it is currently unknown how the new tiers will be priced if this plan comes to pass, nor are there any other details about the tier split.
