With Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, we could have expected some changes for the social network. But not that drastic…
After billionaire Elon Musk took over the social network for a total of $44 billion, the monthly subscription for the Pro version of Twitter Blue will rise to $19.99 and it could become mandatory to keep certain “privileges”. enjoy.
Elon Musk is enforcing his decisions on Twitter
This is how Elon Musk has decided to calculate the certification of accounts through a monthly subscription to Twitter, as reported by the always very informed The edge. Twitter employees have apparently been tasked with implementing the paid system by November 7, 2022. A particularly tight margin to swallow the pill for thousands of users.
This should apply to newcomers, but also to everyone who currently has a verified account. There should be no preferential treatment. Already certified accounts must subscribe to the service within 90 days or risk losing the valuable blue badge.
It remains to be seen how this information will be received by the public. Will we have the right to a mass exodus on another social network? Or are we simply witnessing the end of an era of no real change for the everyday Twitter user?
No doubt most companies pay $20 a month to get the precious sesame. Especially since it seems to have a strong influence on most people and on the legitimacy of certain statements (although…).
