A nightmare for many, good news for some — Twitter Blue Tick has officially become a paid thing. Quickly after rumors made the rounds, Elon Musk has now announced that users can easily get verified by paying for a Twitter Blue subscription, which now costs more.

Musk, via a recent tweet, has revealed that the Twitter Blue subscription will now cost $8 (~ Rs 660) a month and includes the perk of getting verified. Earlier, Twitter Blue cost $5 a month. This way, any person who is ready to pay can easily get a Blue Tick without the hassle of a verification process.

Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is bullshit. Power to the people! Blue for $8/month.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 1, 2022

Twitter Blue, apart from the new price, will also have some new features. This includes the ability to post longer audio and video, see really fewer ads, and have priority in replies, mentions, and searches.
