Elon Musk is changing Twitter verification process. Users will be now charged with $8 for blue tick.
Twitter’s new Chief Elon Musk has announced that Twitter’s verification will be now renewed. The coveted blue tick will be available to users for the price of $8 per month. He further said that the Twitter verification charges would also be subject to a country’s “purchasing power parity”.
By paying the fees, verified users will be able to get priority in replies, mentions, and searches. He said this could prove to be essential to defeating spam/scams, give users the ability to post long video and audio, come across half as many ads.
