Elon the business man....I knew this is exactly what will happen when he eventually takes over twitter. I support him 100%. All those brands that charge people exorbitantly because of their blue tick will now pay a certain kind of tax.

Nairaland has kukuma been my twitter for years on end. Only if Seun will upgrade this his site to have additional functionalities, more smileys and what have you. Nairaland has the potential to become Africa's twitter.

I support him on this.

do you know how much those verified accounts make from brands free of charge?
no tax
nothing all for themselves.
the fees is nothing compared to their monthly income.

Me too. I only used it during COVID-19 lockdown to contact my bank’s customer care. I believe Twitter is overrated & I don’t seem to find it easy to navigate the site/app. I only do fb & nl.

If only seun can charge all users 200 a month or 2k a year to have ability to quote and reply posts.

500 naira to register as a NL member.

It'll stop some nonsense I see on here.

Seun you should really do something like this then top it off with the ability to block certain people so we don't see their posts

Ogbomoso economic analyst!

We're campaigning for Seun to start paying us and you're suggesting we should pay him. Do you know how much this site generates annually?

What does economy have to do with it.
He will profit from this and prolly try to make the forum better for us all.

Only reason I want this is to prevent people from opening multiple accounts to troll etc

Someone mistakenly called my number thinking I'm her manager at work and he is asking for a day off duty. I gave him one week off duty. I understand that there's too much stress in this regime, He needs to rest

People hate people who are more famous or more successful. Therefore, the idea that this development would place a burden of cost on verified handles would be welcome and celebrated, and Elon would be hailed as "the great man". But let's not get carried and forget to ask the right questions.

The verification functionality was introduced to tackle impersonation. At least, we can easily tell when a tweet is made by Atiku today. Besides this, people feel more comfortable conducting business with verified accounts. The question is, is the verification subscription open to anyone who can afford it? If so, what do we have in place for tackling the initial issue? And if it's not open to everyone, does that mean that when you're due to be verified, Twitter will invite you to subscribe? How will it work?

People will pay. Majority will. People crave status, validation and notoriety.

It just makes business sense to charge them.

I beg to differ. Twitter is far better, more engaging, and the fastest way to pass and get news information online.
