The billionaire promoted the advantages of having a paid verified handle, including priority in answers, mentions, and search, which he claimed would help combat spam and scam.
Musk also mentioned further benefits, like the ability for publishers to escape paywalls and the ability to post lengthy films and audios.
Twitter’s present lords & peasants mechanism for determining who has or does not have a blue checkmark is crap, he claimed in his post. People power, indeed! $8/month for Blue.
Price adjustments made according to purchasing power parity by country.
Additionally, you will receive: – Priority in answers, mentions, and searches, which is necessary to combat spam and scam. – The ability to upload lengthy videos and music – Half as many adverts.
“And paywall bypass for publishers willing to work with us.
“This will also give Twitter a revenue stream to reward content creators.
“There will be a secondary tag below the name for someone who is a public figure, which is already the case for politicians.”
