Twitter Reportedly Plans to Charge $20 a Month for Verified Accounts – By Steven Musil (CNET) / Oct 30, 2022
Reports state Twitter is considering a $20 monthly subscription for blue checkmarks.
Twitter users with a coveted blue verified check mark on their accounts may soon find themselves having to pay to preserve that status.
Twitter executives are “strongly considering” requiring that those with the free check mark on their profile pay $5 each month for a Twitter Blue subscription or lose their badge, Platformer’s Casey Newton reported Sunday afternoon. Executives have spent the weekend talking about the idea and making plans about the measure, sources told Newton.
A report from The Verge, however, suggested it could cost more than that. That report states that Twitter is planning to charge $20 for a new Twitter Blue subscription, and that blue checkmarks will be lost to users if they don’t pay up. According to the report, users will be given 90 days to subscribe before losing their blue tick. Employees working on the project have apparently been given until Nov. 7 to implement the changes.
