Opinion: The wrong way to fix Twitter
paused verification and created a stasis that further frustrated those who could not get that previous blue check.but I could never say that everyone was pleased with the selection process or even knew what a Blue Check means, which is to say that Musk's clearly stated annoyance is not unfounded. His solution, however, is confusing and potentially very bad for people with Blue Checks and for Twitter.
That, though, is just a tiny slice of what's unclear here. Questions abound, like, is the clock actually ticking on Blue Checks? What I mean is, if you don't pay, your Twitter Blue Check, my verification, will disappear. I think that's the case but have asked Musk on Twitter for clarification. Why is it we have to pay, and the advertisers have to pay, but Twitter, which is not creating any of this content is not paying any of us?
There's got to be a better way. Make it $10 a year to keep the check and then $19.99 a year to access editable tweets and $34.99 a year for full Twitter Blue access.You can charge a premium for brands . Many verified people are not richI think $10 a year fee just to keep the check is fair and does not even need to include the ability to edit tweets . For people who want editable tweets, and some of the other features Musk mentions above, charge them $19.
