Elon Musk Slashes Twitter Verification Fee To $8 Monthly
Elon Musk has announced a slash of the Twitter verification fees from $20 per month to $8 per month.
He made the announcement through his Twitter handle.
The billionaire rolled out the benefits of owning a paid verified handle as a priority in replies, mentions, and searches which he said will help defeat spam/scams.
Musk also listed the other advantages such as the capacity to post long-duration videos and audio, and paywall bypass for publishers among others.
He noted the fee will enable Twitter to reward content creators.
He wrote, “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.
“Price adjusted by country proportionate to purchasing power parity.
“You will also get: – Priority in replies, mentions & search, which is essential to defeat spam/scam – Ability to post long video & audio – Half as many ads.
“And paywall bypass for publishers willing to work with us.
“This will also give Twitter a revenue stream to reward content creators.
There will be a secondary tag below the name for someone who is a public figure, which is already the case for politicians
