The Tech Crawsh website, which specializes in technology news, revealed the latest plans of “X” (previously known as Twitter) to enhance its revenues, by selling the names of inactive users on the platform, where the site explained that the company has already started preparing a system that allows inquiries about the available user names, with the ability to allocate them to different companies and institutions.
The report added that “X” is working to provide auctions for companies that have activated contributions of $ 10,000 annually, in order to obtain the names of inactive users, and this step aims to take advantage of unused accounts and achieve a financial return through them, especially since many of the distinctive names may be registered but inactive.
Despite the start of preparing this feature, the website devoted to reserving names or starting auctions is still not available until now, and the service is expected to be officially released soon, in the framework of the platform seeking to provide new tools for companies and achieve greater benefit than the inactive user database.
500 thousand dollars
Financial auctions to obtain user names range from 10 thousand dollars and may reach 500 thousand dollars, and earlier, Musk had begun to delete many of the inactive user accounts in order to provide another space for more user names on the platform.
How to keep an active X account?
The “X” platform issued an official statement earlier, in which it confirmed the need to log in to the user account on the platform at least once a month to avoid closing the account permanently, and this step aims to maintain active accounts and organize interaction on the platform.
X also announced the activation of a new service that allows users to apply through the site designated for selling user names, as this system allows users to submit requests to obtain the names they want to buy, and after submitting the application, users receive a message from the platform within three days that include a response regarding the application status and whether the name is available for purchase.
