It will soon become much easier to get a prestigious blue tick on Twitter, which is banned in Russia. The question is the price.
Elon Musk, who recently proclaimed himself the “chief tweeter” in his profile description, shared plans to simplify user verification.
The current Twitter system that divides people based on the presence or absence of a blue checkmark is complete bullshit,” Musk tweeted, adding that he would “give power to the people” at a cost of $8 a month.
According to him, the tariff will be adjusted “depending on the country in proportion to purchasing power parity.”
In addition to the verified account badge, users who are willing to pay for this status will receive priority in replies and mentions, receive half as many ads, and be able to post longer video and audio files, Musk said.
This will provide Twitter with revenue to reward content creators,” Musk said.
Those users will also be able to access Twitter-affiliated sites for free without having to subscribe to them, he said.
While some users were happy about the reform, others expressed concern that paid verification would give would-be scammers the appearance of legitimacy.
