really, ok, as per recognized Twitter users, tor.

Seriously, perhaps the comparative advantage is worth, you are paying for some kind of advantage in terms of trustworthiness perhaps, more marketing power. If so, the long-term gain is quite worth it, unless the comparative advantage is maybe marginal.

If just 100 million of twitter's over 380 million users pay a monthly $8 to keep their blue tick, Twitter will be making $800 million every month from verification subscription alone!
Elon Ebubeego Munachi Musk!
I see far more than that number subscribing. After all, even if the dollar rises to #1k/$, $8 is still just 8k.

Meaning a fake account can have a blue tick with just dollar?

It will reduce the incident of Bots on Twitter. I guess that is his main target.

He’s also trying to monetize it such that most people will want to pay for blue tick and that will generate mad revenue base for Twitter.

You have some people opening thousands of Bots account on Twitter, it will be hard for you to want to pay $7.99 for your Bots account.

That’s gonna be too expensive monthly.

Naah..... Strict verifications will be made. Not just $8... They’ll do a video call with the person to ensure the pictures on his profile is same as in real life..... ID cards might be checked too.....

Lol.
No one's paying $8 monthly to get a sign you'll see in every 3rd account you count.
The verification badge is suppose to be a sign of prestige and hence will loose it's appeal when it becomes so common or when anyone can easily get it. I'd prefer if they stick with the original or make it cost way more than just $8, perhaps make different categories of the tick with prices increasing for each category– that way you can get that prestige associated with it.

I love Elon Musk and how he overhauled the useless way some people gets verified before now.

Some proud fools do feel like gods amongst men because of that blue tick especially some of our Nigerian celebrities.

grin

Lol... Of course, you'd like it because you were not verified. People would do anything to pull others down to their level.

Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey on Saturday took blame for such widespread job losses. He had two runs as CEO of Twitter, with the most recent stretching from 2015 into 2021.

“I own the responsibility for why everyone is in this situation: I grew the company size too quickly,” he tweeted. “I apologize for that.”

One good thing about this new Twitter owner, is that Twitter will be more open now, we will know the day to day running of the social media, and some of us will learn a thing or two on the business side

The bolded used to be true.
But with the current business model, the badge will become a sign of authenticity of the users.
People use Twitter to do business and customers (both current and prospective) need to know that the account they are following and doing business with belongs to a real and "contactable" person. They need to be almost sure that they can rely on information from that account.

Twitter should also check IPOB activities on their app.


Twitter should not allow it's platform as an avenue to preach Hate


Twitter should not let a country get burnt down from their platform.


EndSars, a lot more people around Nigeria were seeing real tune what situation was at the Lekki Toll Gate and it was triggering emotions high, Twitter can sensor moments of intense Heat.


I know the Anti-Christ would come thru the internet but Twitter should know we arent yet rife for Amagadon, Apocalypse, Great Tribulation, Depression.


Twitter must self purge

Twitter should have Moderators like Nairaland or better still have Twitter Online Police

Nobody is preaching hate Oga. U think this is Igbo/Yoruba/Hausa matter? Elon Must will burn your useless mustache bear bear

i said similar thing on twitter few days ago. Some celebs parades themselves as demi god, like human with 2 heads just because brands endorsement and media publication aided them verification. If they can't pay let them leave it for some of us that can. *winks
