Zodiac Matches That Make The Best Couples
The Tesla and Twitter owner, Elon Musk has finally revealed the deadline for purging the legacy blue check-marks from the Twitter accounts verified under the social media giant previous regime.
In his newest tweet, the billionaire, Musk wrote, “Final date for removing legacy Blue checks is 4/20.”
After this announcement, it means that if you want to have a legacy verified account on Twitter with the blue mark, you will have to pay now to keep the checkmark.
From April 20, the only accounts that will keep their blue checkmarks are those subscribed to Twitter Blue.
Interestingly, Twitter’s Blue is priced differently for every special region and based on how a user would sign up. Taking notes from the latest regime, in the United States, it costs USD 11 a month or USD 114.99 a year for iOS or Android users and USD 8 a month or USD 84 a year for web users.
Earlier, it was said that Twitter’s announcement would commence from April 1 that it would begin removing the blue check-mark badges from legacy verified accounts — those which the company had previously deemed to be notable and/or authentic — unless users have signed up for the Twitter Blue subscription service.
The social media giant is full of mysteries. On April 2, Twitter changed the language in the description of verified users to read, “This account is verified because it’s subscribed to Twitter Blue or is a legacy verified account.” This means you can’t tell who is paying for a blue checkmark and who isn’t.
Meanwhile, some celebrities have refused to pay for the certification. LeBron James, the NBA star and entertainment producer, had tweeted on March 31, that his blue checkmark likely would be disappearing because he wouldn’t pay for verification.
“Welp guess my blue [?] will be gone soon ’cause if you know me I ain’t paying the 5. [?],” tweeted James, however, @KingJames remains verified.
Musk is making the switch to paid verification in order to generate much-needed revenue for Twitter.
Stephen King rejected the idea of paying for a blue checkmark (“F… that,” King tweeted), Musk responded, “We need to pay the bills somehow!”
