# Long-Form Content Social Platforms X Allows Premium+ Subscribers to Create Long-Form Articles By Amy Duong | Published 2024-03-08 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/longform-articles References: [engadget](https://www.engadget.com/you-can-write-long-form-articles-on-x-if-you-pay-for-premium-005707599.html)  X is introducing the ability for users to create [long-form articles on the social platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/note-to-draft) -- the catch is that only verified organizations and Premium+ subscribers will be able to access this. This updated feature adds a [basic text-editing function](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instagram-edits) which is finished with embedded media and other text formatting options including the ability to make bullet points. This also shows articles that can be longer than the current 25,000-character limit in place of the longer article feature. Notably, this project to create longer formats came into fruition a while ago -- in 2022, Notes was introduced and users were encouraged to use the service. It was meant to attract [newsletter writers and other creators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/substack-5).
