Weighing Verified Users Over Others
Since day one of Elon Musk’s takeover, we’re seeing substantial changes happening on Twitter. Some include UI changes, job cuts, revamped subscriptions, etc. Amidst all these, the new boss Elon Musk revealed what the new Blue subscription offers to those who get it.
Earlier, he revealed that anyone subscribing to Twitter Blue would get a verified badge on their profile – displaying them as the legitimate account holder of who they say they are.

In an interview, Musk talked about how the organizations are trying to manipulate the public’s opinion and how Twitter bot accounts and trolls are used for that. And a solution to that is turning as many general users of the platform into paid subscribers.
He goes on to justify his statement by saying that subscribers get a lot more than just a verified badge for $8 a month, with some including long-form video, audio, and podcasts. Further, he talked about creating earning opportunities for content creators on Twitter.
People often share links to YouTube and TikTok – taking followers outside Twitter for more details. And to change that, Musk wanted to turn Twitter into a similar platform that offers everything they wanted. Thus, video and audio sharing capabilities aside the regular tweets.
