Twitter wants to charge US$20 per month for verification

DateMonday, October 31, 2022 at 10:17AM

One of Elon Musk's first projects for Twitter includes an ultimatum. He wants verification (a.k.a. the blue check) to be a monthly subscription. And he wants to fold that into Twitter Blue, which he wants to significantly bump up the price from US$4.99 to US$19.99. With this plan, verified users have 90 days to subscribe to keep their verification.

Employees were reportedly told they needed to meet the November 7 deadline to launch the feature or get fired. Musk mentioned before his acquisition that he wanted to change how Twitter verifies accounts and handles bots. And it looks like this is how it wants to handle it for now.
