It's unclear whether these tiers will replace Twitter's current paid subscription tier, which used to be called Blue but is now just called Premium, or if they'll be added as a second and third option.
Earlier this month, Bloomberg reported that X is testing three new subscription tiers, called Basic, Standard, and Plus. According to reports, Basic users would still see ads in their For You page, Standard users would have half the amount of ads, and Plus users would have no ads at all.
