After Elon Musk announced Twitter Blue shortly after acquiring the social network, users of the platform doubted the new measure based on price, the guarantees they would have when paying for verification, and what would happen to those who had the tick blue since before the announcement of the paid version of Twitter. Finally, Musk has decided enable verification option for everyone and disable old verifications.
Twitter Blue It is now available globally and allows certain freedoms that the normal version of the social network does not: edit messages, post texts with fewer character limitations, longer videos and in 1080p, priority in viewing comments on other posts, and less advertising, among other options that will come as the Premium version improves. The blue tick will only be for those who pay to have it, which means everyone who got verified before Elon Musk announced the paid version they will lose it on april 1st.
This option has sparked multiple controversies since it was announced and has slowly refined its options to attract the attention of users: it started as a verification that cost 20 dollars and quickly dropped to 8 due to the refusal of users, who saw that the payment it did not guarantee anything other than the blue mark. Even some of those who are already signed up for benefits have noticed that advertising increases instead of decreasingsomething that Twitter is working to solve.
After all the hiccups that Twitter Blue had from its announcement to its global activation, it has finally struck a balance between engaging users and demonstrating utility: its value is at 7 dollars a month, rounded to 6,500 pesos for Chile, with a discount for the annual subscription. It only remains to wait to see the reaction of Twitter users and find out if the proposal has the necessary acceptance to show that Elon Musk can handle Twitter.
