La red social Twitter withdrew this thursday blue check marks to accounts that are not credited to Twitter Blue, a subscription that costs $8 a month (7.29 euros)thus definitively breaking the business policy prior to Elon Muskwhen Twitter gave this verification for free to public people.
“We will remove legacy verification marks,” the Twitter Verified account had announced this Wednesday in a tweet.
Twitter Blue users can edit your tweets, post content of up to 10,000 characters and get the platform’s algorithm to boost your tweets.
However, only 0.2% of network users pay for Twitter Blue: In March, Twitter Blue had around 116,000 confirmed subscriptions across the web, up 138% from the previous month, according to Similarweb.
This amount of fertilizers does not produce enough income enough to make up for the money the company lost when various companies stopped advertising on Twitter with the arrival of the CEO of Tesla y XSpace.
Musk’s constant controversies and abrupt changes during his first year online have caused advertisers to flee of the social network founded in 2006, causing ad revenue to recently plunge by as much as 75%, according to The Washington Post.
Many users and media have said that they do not plan to pay the fee for 8 dollars per month per employee and 1,000 dollars per month for the verification marks of their organizations -the latter in yellow-. As is the case with The New York Times or the actress Halle Berrywho announced this Wednesday that he will join the “unverified”.
The date that has been chosen for this change made me think at first that perhaps it was a jokesince April 20 -written 4/20, in English- is for many “the day of marijuana”, and that joke has already been used by Musk on other occasions.
In 2018 Musk tweeted: “I’m considering taking Tesla public at $420. Funding secured” and later said it was a joke.
