Blue ticks are now being given to users on Twitter only on payment of a fee.

According to Elon Musk, the new owner of Twitter Inc., he is purging the social network's free legacy label from April 1.

He says that

platform Twitter will be made more egalitarian and will generate more revenue.

But the problem with Musk's intention is that a large number of users

are refusing to pay more than $ 8 per month for 

Some users say the pay-to-play system, dubbed Twitter Blue, will make it easier for pranksters, fraudsters or criminals to pose as someone they don't want, according to a Bloomberg report. they are not.

Furthermore, it potentially makes it easier for the site to be used to spread misinformation and sow discord.

Elon Musk

bought Twitter in late October.

He promised to make it a haven for free speech.

He also said that many people were previously "verified" by the system for free.

He got a badge of prominence (the blue tick) that let others know you were real and possibly famous.

Such people will lose their position. 

Since Musk acquired Twitter, the social media platform's advertising revenue has declined by 50 percent.

The system of paid verification for Twitter Blue Tick is an attempt to compensate for the loss of revenue.

Welp guess my blue will be gone soon cause if you know me I ain't paying the 5.

Twitter users are debating whether paying $8 a month for the blue tick mark is worth it.

Blue Tick is discounted to $84 if purchased for the entire year, but costs $11 per month if purchased through the Apple or Google App Store. 

Some users say they will refuse to subscribe to Twitter Blue because they do not want to support Musk, the world's second-richest person.

Many say that since they are able to earn the Blue Tick on merit, they object to being paid. 

Twitter user businesses have to decide whether they will spend thousands of dollars to verify their Twitter accounts.

Under the new system, institutions will have to pay $1,000 per month for verification.

Barring a few exceptions, each employee will get a Blue Tick for $50.

Refusing to verify the apprehension that blue ticked fake accounts charged with fees may pose as any business, including financial firms or media organizations.

Then they can scam or spread misinformation.

In November, when Musk opened the way for users to be verified via payments, Twitter accounts with blue tick marks began to emerge as fake accounts from companies such as Eli Lilly & Co., PepsiCo Inc., Nintendo Co., and even Musk himself. .
