The removal of the once-highly sought-after verification symbol will now become a pay-to-play marker accessible to anyone willing to cough up a few bucks a month.
Individuals with legacy verified accounts who want to retain their blue checks will need to pay for Twitter Blue, the company's new $8 monthly subscription service that allows anyone who pays to be verified.Official organizations, including the White House and some government officials, willCompanies and businesses can pay $1000 a month for verification and will receive a gold check mark.
I paid for one month in December to write an article on the benefits of Twitter Blue - that’d be none. That expired in January and I’ve had the mark since whether I want it or not (I don’t). Now it’s just an indelible mark as a dork.
The article says it’s $8 monthly subscription or Twitter was offering a discounted $84-a-year subscription Thursday. It shows as $11/month or $114.99/year for me. Not subscribing but I’m curious what it shows for others?
In other words, the blue check goes from meaning 'verified individual' to 'vain individual'
...or you can get a blue Czech at Sotheby's...
Why is the summary so snarky? Just report facts
