- Twitter Blue gives you priority in replies, mentions, and searches, longer videos and audio, and 50% fewer ads.
- Twitter’s looping video app that was discontinued in 2016.
CEO twitter, Elon Musk announced earlier this week that in an effort to reduce spam and fake accounts on Twitter, the blue tick verification would henceforth be a paid service. It will soon be a paid feature that comes with Twitter Blue, and now we know how much it will cost.
Musk recently increased the price of Twitter’s premium tier, Twitter Blue, from $4.99 to $8 per month. He also said that the price will be changed in a way that takes into account the buying power of different countries.
Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is bullshit.
Power to the people! Blue for $8/month.

Twitter must start from scratch to revive Vine. Even so, six-second video clips are all the rage at the moment, so there’s every reason to bring back Vine.
