BLUE UPDATE

Twitter To Bill Businesses $1,000 per Month for Gold-Verification Badge.

Twitter is reportedly considering charging businesses on the platform $1,000 a month to retain their gold-verified checkmarks.




According to a report from The Information, companies, and organizations that fail to pay the fee will lose their badges, although it’s not clear when. Internal messages viewed by the outlet suggested that it will cost $1,000 a month to keep gold badges and another $50 a month for each ‘affiliated account’.

The change is the latest of many that Twitter’s new owner and CEO Elon Musk has taken in an attempt to boost revenue and turn the company profitable. That includes mass layoff that saw its workforce halve in size from around 7,500 before the acquisition, WSJ reported.

It comes just months after Musk made the controversial decision to charge ordinary Twitter users $8 a month for its classic blue checkmarks
