Elon Musk, the new owner of Twitter, announced in a tweet on Tuesday the upcoming launch of an $8 per month subscription for users wishing to certify their account – represented on the social network by a blue check mark in the pseudonym. This subscription gave access to other advantages and in particular will allow you to be less exposed to advertising. The price will be adjusted in each country according to purchasing power, promises the billionaire.
“The current system of Twitter, lords and peasants, for who has or does not have blue certification, is bullshit”, writes Elon Musk on his own social network.
Twitter has already offered a subscription to paid features since last year, but the general manager wants a new program, more expensive and more widely adopted, which will diversify the platform’s revenue sources in order to “remunerate content creators”.
