The development has affected several individuals including journalists as Twitter insists on a $8 monthly payment to subscribe to its Twitter blue’ if account holders must retain their verification badge, or for those who want to get the blue tick newly.
Numerous Twitter check marks disappeared from Twitter accounts for the users who were reluctant to pay $8 a month for the traditional blue badge.
‘Legacy’ blue ticks were initially given to verified accounts belonging to people of public interest including celebrities, politicians and journalists.
But following Musk’s takeover, only those subscribed to Twitter Blue can keep a blue tick, while businesses must now pay for a gold tick.
This decision came as part of Musk’s efforts to get rid of the so-called “lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue check mark.”
Earlier in the month, Musk had tweeted that “Final date for removing legacy blue checks is April 20.”
April 1 was the initial date to kick-start the removal of ‘legacy’ ticks, but many remained after this date giving rise to confusion.
Ten days later, Musk then announced that the ‘final date’ for removing these ticks would be April 20.
