Elon Musk, new owner of the Twitter social network, announced, yesterday Tuesday, November 1, the upcoming launch of an eight dollars subscription per month for users wishing to have their account certified.
Blue badge will now become paid, but some advantages are expected. The monthly subscription will allow users to reduce their exposure to advertising content by half, said Musk.
The subscription price will be adjusted according to the countries. “This will also bring income to Twitter to reward content creators,” he also confirmed.
Elon Musk asked engineers to work tirelessly on this system overhaul. He said Tuesday that his subscription would give access to other advantages: their tweets will appear as a priority, they will be able to post longer videos and messages, and will be exposed to “half as much advertising”, reports the AFP agency.
