One such statement concerned the verification system.
How Do You Get a Blue Checkmark on Twitter?
When getting verified on Twitter, there’s a distinct before and after to considerbefore and afterMusk bought Twitter.
Before Musk, getting the blue checkmark was fairly simple.
If you met them, you got the blue tick.
After Musk, having the blue checkmark means one of two things.
Either your account was previously verifiedsomething now referred to as legacy verified.
Or your account has anactive Twitter Blue subscription.
With the subscription, you’d still have to meet specific requirements to get the blue tick.
And if you don’t, you’ll remain unverified.
So it’s not as simple as throwing money at Twitter and getting it.
The requirements in question are similar to the ones from the pre-Musk era.
Is the Blue Checkmark a Status Symbol or a Necessity?
What does Twitter verification bring your way?
Is it even worth the price or going through the steps to get it?
What do you gain besides feeling like you’re part of the ‘it’ crowd?
Your identity has been authenticated.
But thinking about it, does that even matter?
But if you’re an average Joe, do you think you have to keep yourself safe from impersonators?
Safe to say that for everyday people, Twitter verification is nothing more than a status symbol.
But as stated, that doesn’t really affect everyday users as much.
Verified users get boosted.
There are still plenty of disinformation campaigns plaguing Twitter feeds, and bots are alive and thriving.
Spam also continues on the platform.
So your feed will still get flooded with the same old.
Paying for the Twitter Blue subscriptiongrants you early access to a few new features.
The one that stands above the rest is Undo Tweet.
Other than that, the most prominent benefit of paying for Twitter verification is getting an ego boost.
Twitter verification for general users is yet another monthly subscription to add to the pile.
As with most things, there isn’t a clear answer that applies to all.
