Twitter will charge $20/month for a blue check. Team tasked with implementing it has until November 7th

Maybe $1,000 per month was too expensive.

X (formerly Twitter) now has a “basic” tier for Verified Organizations, which gets you a gold checkmark badge (and a few other benefits) for $200 per month instead of $1,000 per month for “full access.” While X claims this new tier is “designed for smaller businesses,” the more affordable plan...

X (formerly Twitter) now has a “basic” tier for Verified Organizations, which gets you a gold checkmark badge (and a few other benefits) for $200 per month instead of $1,000 per month for “full access.”
While X claims this new tier is “designed for smaller businesses,” the more affordable plan is perhaps an admission that not enough businesses are paying for the more expensive plan.

Our new Verified Organizations Basic tier is now available for $200/month or $2000/year!

Designed for smaller businesses, subscribers receive ad credits & priority support to enable faster growth on X

X will no longer allow users to hide their blue checks, regardless of whether they paid for premium or not. On Thursday, the app began notifying users that “the hide your checkmark feature of X Premium is going away soon.”



The change comes shortly after X unexpectedly began adding blue checks to the accounts of “influential” users with at least 2,500 followers who pay for a premium subscription. While Elon Musk suggested that change was meant to be a perk, some of his critics — including formerly verified users — were less than pleased with the blue badge appearing on their accounts, lest others suspect them of actually paying for a subscription.

Musk turned the blue check from a sign of prestige to a sign that you are an idiot and probably a nazi.

Sounds like the damn airlines.

Basic - you don’t get shǐt and can’t pick your seat
Regular - you get a sip of coke and handful of chips
Human - bag of trial size chips and your own Capri Sun
