埃隆·馬斯克的X測試計劃，向在平臺上發(fā)帖的用戶收費

Elon Musk rolled out a new subscription plan to charge new users of X, formerly known as Twitter, to post content on the platform.

埃隆·馬斯克推出了一項新的訂閱計劃，向X(前身為Twitter)的新用戶收取在該平臺上發(fā)布內容的費用。

The social network company wrote on its website that it started testing “Not A Bot” Tuesday in two countries, New Zealand and the Philippines.

這家社交網絡公司在其網站上寫道，周二開始在新西蘭和菲律賓這兩個國家測試“Not A Bot”。

According to X, the subscription method will help “reduce spam, manipulation of our platform and bot activity.” It also noted that the test will not impact existing users and only new accounts on the web.

根據X的說法，訂閱方式將有助于“減少垃圾郵件，操縱我們的平臺和機器人活動。”該公司還指出，測試不會影響現有用戶，只會影響網絡上的新賬戶。

As for how the new program works, new users will pay a $1 annual fee (noting that prices vary by country and currency) to be able to post content, like posts, reply, repost, quote other accounts’ posts and bookmark posts on the web version of the platform. Those who opt-out will only be able to read posts, watch videos and follow accounts.

至于新程序的運作方式，新用戶將支付1美元的年費(注意，價格因國家和貨幣而異)，以便能夠在該平臺的網絡版本上發(fā)布內容，如帖子、回復、轉發(fā)、引用其他賬戶的帖子和書簽帖子。選擇退出的用戶將只能閱讀帖子、觀看視頻和關注賬戶。

Musk said on the plan on X Tuesday, “Correct, read for free, but $1/year to write. It’s the only way to fight bots without blocking real users. This won’t stop bots completely, but it will be 1000X harder to manipulate the platform.”

馬斯克在周二談到該計劃時說:“沒錯，閱讀是免費的，但寫作是每年1美元。這是對抗機器人而不阻礙真正用戶的唯一方法。這不會完全阻止機器人，但操縱平臺的難度將增加1000倍。”

The new plan came nearly a month after reports that Musk was considering charging all users to access the social platform. During a livestreamed conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last month, the Tesla CEO said, “We’re moving to having a small monthly payment for use of the system” to help ward off the bots.

近一個月前，有報道稱馬斯克正在考慮向所有用戶收取訪問該社交平臺的費用。上個月，在與以色列總理本雅明·內塔尼亞胡(Benjamin Netanyahu)的一次直播對話中，這位特斯拉首席執(zhí)行官表示，“我們將對使用該系統(tǒng)收取少量的月費”，以幫助抵御機器人。

He added, “Plus, every time a bot creator wanted to make another bot, they would need another new payment method.”

他補充說，“此外，每次機器人的創(chuàng)造者想要制作另一個機器人時，他們都需要另一種新的支付方式。”

However, at the time, Musk didn’t share any additional details or confirm if and when the program would roll out.

然而，當時馬斯克沒有透露任何額外的細節(jié)，也沒有確認該計劃是否以及何時推出。

In the U.S. currently, X only charges users for its subscription tier X Premium, which costs $11 a month, and offers additional perks including a verified account checkmark.

目前在美國，X只向用戶收取每月11美元的X高級訂閱費用，并提供額外的福利，包括經過驗證的賬戶勾選。
