JAKARTA - Elon Musk has again added changes to the X app, Twitter previously. With this latest feature, X users can "discriminate" free users by blocking them from commenting.

Platform X does have a menu of choice in limiting comments for a long time. When users X upload something, they can limit comments by tapping on the choice of everyone to reply in the lower left corner.

In addition to changing the choice when you want to create uploads, this menu can also be accessed after we make uploads. The trick is to tap the vertical three dot next to the upload and select the change that can reply.

Previously, there were three options displayed, namely everyone, the account being followed, and only the account being mentioned. However, in the latest version, there is a check account option that can be tapped.

This option can not only be enjoyed by users of X Premium, but for ordinary users. VOI directly checks this menu on X and free users can still use it.

If Premium X users limit their uploads to other Premium X users, it might make a bit of sense. They can use this option to discriminate against regular X accounts.

However, this choice creates a bit of confusion if ordinary users use it. Most likely, this menu was deliberately released to benefit X Premium users.

Elon Musk plans to make X a paid application. Before this plan was realized, Musk might want to show a big difference between an ordinary account and a Premium. Unfortunately, not everyone wants to lose money by subscribing to X.

To get a blue tick or subscribe to X Premium, users can subscribe per month or per year. The subscription fee for X Premium per month is IDR 183 thousand and per year is IDR 1.9 million. These two prices include taxes.
