A couple of days ago the purchase of Twitter by Elon Musk became official with all the possible changes to the platform that this will entail. Well, one of the things that was known since he showed his interest in taking over the social network was that the South African tycoon would look for a way to make Twitter more profitable and he has not been slow to do so.
According to The Verge , Elon Musk is revamping the Twitter Blue subscription service to offer more features, including being verified on the social network. The bad? Well, now the subscription will not cost 4.99 euros, but 19.99 euros per month . What will happen to those who do not pay? Well, they will lose this precious brand.
The Twitter verified mark will cost €20 per month
In case you still don’t know, Twitter Blue is a subscription that was launched last year on the platform to offer users exclusive functions such as getting rid of advertising, editing tweets and changing the design of the interface. The price of this service is around 5 euros per month, until now.
Elon Musk intends to relaunch this subscription with a more expensive price (€20/month) but with a new function that the service has not offered until now: account verification. Thus, only those who pay Twitter Blue will be able to access this brand and those who do not will have a period of 90 days to subscribe , since otherwise they will lose it.
The outlet also highlights that Musk ordered platform workers to modify the user verification process. In fact, it is rumored that this new service should be available before November 7 of this year, given that the South African tycoon has threatened to be fired if the change is not made. And you… Do you think it’s okay for Twitter to charge for the verified mark?
