The two best Twitter features will only be available if you pay for Twitter Blue.

Section “Twitter for you”, which displays content that may be relevant to the user, even from accounts the user doesn’t follow, will soon be full of tweets from verified people. Elon Musk was confirmed that, starting next April, only those with a blue badge and therefore following Twitter Blue will appear in this section with the goal of “solving the problem of controlling advanced swarms of AI bots.”

“Starting April 15, only verified accounts will be eligible to receive For You recommendations.”, Musk tweeted. Tycoon also highlights that these verified bots may also show up in the For You section. So far, yes, they comply with the terms of service and do not impersonate people.

This measure also affects surveys. Therefore, from that day Only users with a Twitter Blue subscription and a verified account will be able to vote in polls. from other persons. The goal, we repeat, is to prevent bots from showing SPAM in the recommendation sections. Or, in the case of surveys, prevent automated accounts from spoofing results.

Indeed, Musk confirmed a few months ago that only those users who follow Blue will be able to vote in Twitter policy-related polls.

Twitter will also remove verification from old accounts that don’t pay for Blue.

In April, twitter too remove verification from old accounts. If users who were verified before Elon Musk took over the social network want to keep the badge, they will have to pay for Blue. This will make the notification that appears when someone clicks on the blue checkmark show that the check is active because they are a Twitter Blue follower.

On the other hand, those companies that have not yet received the gold verification badge can request it through a form created for them by the social network. Affiliates of these companies, such as the CEO of the company or an employee with a relevant title, can also request confirmation without having to pay for blue. In the latter case, a small icon with the brand logo will be displayed next to the icon.

A few days ago, Twitter Blue became available worldwide for $8 per month via the Internet. On the iOS and Android app, the subscription costs $11 per month.
