X Expands Long-Form Articles to All Premium Subscribers, Shaking Up Tier Benefits
- •X now offers its long-form "Articles" feature to all Premium subscribers, not just Premium+.
- •The change allows $8-per-month Premium users to publish formatted content with headers, embedded media, and lists.
- •This move by X's head of product, Nikita Bier, is part of updates for creators and power users.
- •The expansion raises questions about the value of the Premium+ tier, which still offers ad-free experience, reply boosting, and Grok AI.
- •X is also working on new creator payout methods amid competition, but faces challenges like high API costs and desktop-only editing.
