X to soon make live streaming exclusive to Premium subscribers

Just a week after making ‘Likes’ private, Elon Musk’s X said it will soon make live stream exclusive to Premium subscribers. In the last few months, X has been constantly adding new features and locking some, like the ability to edit posts, share long-form content among others, behind a paywall.

While the company did not share any information on when the change will be enforced, it will make X the only social media platform that charges users to host a live stream. Other social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, and more lets users start a video live stream for free.
