X Makes Live-Streaming Premium Only to Combat Piracy
5 months ago
Starting soon, only Premium subscribers will be able to livestream on X, including using an encoder with X integration. This shift aims to address copyright and piracy issues while improving content quality. However, it may reduce on-the-ground footage and contradict Elon Musk's vision of "citizen journalism." X hopes this change will boost Premium subscriptions, which have not met revenue expectations.
