X has begun testing a $1 per year charge in NZ and the Philippines it’s calling “Not A Bot” that lets new users view posts and follow accounts for free, but must pay the subscription fee to do anything else. YouTube announced changes to its interface and creator tools that will roll out over the next few weeks. Xbox’s Phil Spencer confirmed Wednesday that Activision Blizzard games won’t be coming to Xbox Game Pass until at least 2024.

The Vibe Shift - GDI 4627 starts at 30:27

What would you do to fix the internet? Katie Notopoulos and the group have thoughts. What do you value in social media? What is the cost of changing? What are some of the great interactions you’ve had on X/Twitter? Have you found a safe place on different networks? Maybe we need a smaller public square. Should we return to forums? Why do you think some creators are burning out? Should the internet be like a supermarket? Is change only brought about by the users?

Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Scott Johnson, Roger Chang, Joe.
