Elon Musk says $8 monthly fee for Twitter blue tick: How to apply for blue ticks
Elon Musk has finally confirmed that Twitter will charge $8 per month if anybody wants the “blue tick”, which shows an account has been verified. Musk said, “To all complainers, please continue complaining, but it will cost $8.” He later added, “Twitter speaks to the inner masochist in all of us.” Musk also mentioned that the paid service will include fewer ads, priority in replies, and the ability to post longer videos than the current limit of 2 minutes 20 seconds.
Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is bullshit.
Power to the people! Blue for $8/month.
