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

So now not only will you give away your personal info and ideas/creativity for free...you'll have to pay up for the privilege just to look "legitimate".



Up is down, and down is up

I'm glad I stopped using Twitter. It peaked years ago

Yes Elon, run this thing into the ground

It's still the world's best news aggregator. That's why he wanted it so bad.

Cashing in on clout. This is a great idea. You still have to be verified, but once it’s been determined that you’re worthy of a blue check, you’re paying $20/month.

you really think Elon gonna keep them same standards

this man will do whatever for a buck

a million russian bots will be verified by november and their tweets will be at the top of your algorithm.

$20/month for a blue check that don't do shyt?

You can do Netflix or some other shyt for $9.99 a month and get movies.

All those famous people nor the common person are going to pay $20/month. GTFO!

make two subscriptions verfied for 20 dollars a month and 100 a month for a gold check for celebrities

I wonder how this is going to work for government officials and companies.

 

[OSUBaneBrowns]

I give Twitter 3 year tops before it's ran into the ground

 

[concise]

If you have a blue check you only see tweets from other blue checks (unless you follow a non-blue check person).

That's not how it works; they reply to randoms all the time.

Thing is twitter could very much die. This is the internet not a location. People just have to sign up for another app

 

[Unknown Poster]

Is it for just anybody? Or is it just that the “somebody's” will have to start paying?

I don't know considering there are a lot of nobody's that have blue checks.

People who already have blue checks on Twitter have to upgrade to the more expensive plan however within 90 days or they lose their blue check.

I think there is other features with twitter Blue I'm not an expert, I'd never pay for twitter.

I'm sure plenty of people will convince themselves that it's worth it to keep the blue check for their business etc/newsrooms will probably pay for their journalists to maintain if they don't just go full backlash. the problem is gonna be when they start selling it to the average joe and the standards for verification go out the window because all that matters is bringing in revenue.

IG should do it next.

Get rid of them bots and mutli-accounts too.

That’d be taking money out of celebrity and influencers pockets as those bots help them get sponsors.
