Sorry guys who post links on X, looks like Elon needs more money.

“It now costs $0.20 when a link is posted, up from $0.01, and the change has impacted a very notable account about tech.”

It looks like it’s only available through the API, though. I suppose people will switch to automation, as it can get really expensive if you’re posting a lot.

Gotta be for API users. I never paid for sharing links manually

Lol what a website. I didn't know it costs to post links on any social media. I thought it's enough they ask for verification and ban people. This is bullshit.

I remember threads about X API absurd pricing and it still continues.

Only via the API, with free tiers as well. But I still don’t understand why someone would do that when they could just automate post creation.
