The billionaire is chipping away at the standard Twitter experience, trying to get more paid subscribers through segregated news feeds and pay-to-vote polls.
Initially, Twitter Blue was just a way to get bonus features like an edit button and more organization tools. But overtime, Musk has shifted to move more of his site’s features out of the “available-to-all” box and under the “paying customers only” umbrella.
Two-factor authentication was madeNow, the already unpopular “For You” timeline, which shows algorithmically generated content recommendations as opposed to posts from people you actually follow, will only display tweets from verified users beginning April 15, per Musk’s announcement. Polls too, will be only for the few, the paying, the blue checks.
