Survey on Twitter’s New Blue Tick Monthly Subscription Plan

Twitter’s recent announcement to remove its legacy verified blue checkmarks has left many users feeling frustrated. The social media platform has now introduced a new policy that charges $8 per month for an individual web user to obtain the blue tick.

This new development has raised concerns about being unable to distinguish genuine accounts from impersonators, as blue ticks will be removed from all accounts that did not pay for them. Twitter’s decision to monetize its verification process is expected to generate more revenue for the platform.

However, the cost of this subscription is not uniform for all organizations. Organizations seeking verification badges will have to pay a monthly fee of $1,000 to receive a gold verification tick, plus an additional $50 per month for each affiliate or employee account.

This makes it an expensive choice for many organizations. Several high-profile organizations, celebrities, and government bodies, including The New York Times and the White House, have refused to pay for the verification badge, leading to a heated debate in the online community.

Meanwhile, an internal document by Twitter has revealed that 10,000 of the most-followed organizations on Twitter will be exempt from this rule. Additionally, those who pay for the monthly subscription will get to enjoy a selection of new features, including longer tweets, the ability to edit posts, higher weighting in the prioritization algorithm, and the blue check marks.

Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, has previously criticized Twitter’s verification program as a “lords and peasants” system. Many users have resonated with this sentiment, but many others have opposed this move and argued that it will result in more fraudulent activities.

Moreover, this announcement has divided Twitter users into two halves — supporters and oppositions. This prompted Real Research to conduct a survey on the topic and get a vivid understanding of how this rule is being viewed by people worldwide. Hence, hurry and answer the survey on Twitter’s new blue tick monthly subscription plan in the Real Research app from April 7, 2023, and receive 60 TNCs as a reward.
