One of my YouTube videos increased the demand for this question.
I do not know why they are curious about that but at least, I can outline what are the benefits of having Twitter premium:
– You can write longer posts (280+ characters)
– You can see Advanced Analytics
– Grok chat is quite good
– Post and browse job opportunities
– Creators can have some revenue
– You can create X Decks panels
– You are protected so spammy accounts cannot message you
I think that there are many useful features.
What is your take on it?

I am used to writing long posts, so I didn't even use Twitter before. So for me, the new functionality is critical, I am very glad that it exists.

If you're using X to promote your business or grow you personal brand, I absolutely think it's worth it.
If you just use X to casually browse news, not worth it.
