When Elon Musk acquired Twitter announced that it would carry out some changes, among them, charging to maintain verification status, something that was highly criticized and it was thought that it would no longer be carried out.
But a few weeks ago, the businessman assured that he would continue with his plan to collect a monthly subscription for this “benefit.” From now on, those who want to have and maintain the blue brand must pay 8 dollars a month.
In the case of accounts for organizations, this cost rises to $1,000 per month, and they will be charged an additional $50 for each affiliate or employee account they want to add.

I clicked toxic Twitter, BYE

Some of them have taken the matter with humor, while others have expressed their discontent, commenting that it seems ridiculous that they must pay monthly to keep their account verified.
I can’t stand that they removed my verification
— THE DIVAZA ✨ (@ladivaza) April 20, 2023
It should be noted that one of the advantages/benefits provided by the Twitter verification emblem was to prevent identity theft, in addition to giving people the assurance that they were interacting with an official account.
On the other hand, when Danna Paola found that her account had lost the blue mark, she wrote the following: “That I clicked toxic Twitter, BYE”, but later shared a meme mocking ‘deverification’.
La Divaza was another of the celebrities who expressed her disagreement, “I am not supporting that they took away my verification.” While the international star, Halle Berry, took the news with a lot of humor and has shared two memes about it.
