I get it man but I work for a news organization and have been for 21 years now. I know how cheap these guys are. I don’t see them agreeing to pay 20 dollars a month for that little blue check. My job alone has about 15 reporters before you even get to the other people in the building that you’d have to pay for. Imagine a company paying for 100 reporters just for them to keep verification. I’d imagine the people that worked hard to get it will fight it but it’s whatever. I just think it’ll be seen as a monumental waste of money, especially by companies that might get more engagement on other platforms outside of Twitter.
it's like when you get a free trial and it ends, so you have to decide if you want to keep using it as is.
imagine if instagram did this.. they could sell blue checks for $5k a year
i don't have an account on either platform and instagram is far less useful. since you basically need to have an account to view the content. very few people could justify a $5K expense on Instagram.
The coli should do this for black ppl. 
Where are these people going to go to post their text based content? They already have followings and influence on Twitter. People are not ditching Twitter to start making Facebook status posts. And IG isn't designed or used like Twitter is in terms of how sharing content works.
Twitter has a niche for text based news updates. Where are people migrating to for this use case?
theres 237 million daily active twitter users. if twitter was able to get just 5% of them verified, that would mean a minimum of $2.84 billion in annual revenue. I don't think 5% is a crazy goal.there is around 400,000 blue checks on twitter... 8 million per month

If they charge more it'll probably be a better flex. Pricing it so low makes it lose value.
There are ways to have blue check even if you weren’t any of them. Some people managed to fraud their way to a blue check by just having some bs article written about them.
