After having been continuously talking about Elon Musk and Twitter for months, we have been able to see all the controversial decisions that the mogul made and that almost ended the company. Starting with laying off more than half of his staff in a few weeks to leaving Twitter at a minimum to save as much as possible, Musk’s decisions are questionable to say the least. Like this one right now, where he has decided that users with a paid subscription to Twitter Blue will only see the 50% of ads seen by non-payers.
Twitter has undergone many changes since Elon Musk became its CEO and therefore everything he says must be obeyed. This implies that workers must implement what he calls Twitter 2.0. Musk wants to change Twitter and among the many things that he raised, the fact of obtaining income through subscriptions is one of them. This is how the badges on Twitter were born, which for some time have been available on 3 colors: gold, blue and gray. Las grises are the rarest to see, as they are reserved for the official Twitter accounts of the government and government entities. The gold ones represent the companies and Elon Musk took the opportunity to ask for $1,000 a month to keep the account verified.
Users with a Twitter Blue subscription will see half the ads
This leaves us with the blue verification and probably the one that you will see the most on the social network, since they use it individual persons, famous e influencers. The main advantage of this is that anyone can use it as long as they are a Twitter Blue subscriber. Let’s remember that the initial release of this was a disaster, but Elon Musk re-released it in December, making the fans iOS users will pay more. This ended with a price of 11 euros per month for iOS and 8 euros per month para Android.
By paying this subscription we get several advantages, although the main one is being able to keep the account verified. In an attempt to make Twitter Blue more attractive to users, Elon Musk has announced that users will receive a 50% less advertising than free users. Yes, in addition to paying a monthly subscription, if you are in Twitter Blue you will continue to see adsYes, in the form of sponsored tweets.
Elon Musk confirms increased visibility by responding on Twitter
This is part of a promise Elon Musk made to his Twitter Blue subscribers, where they would receive less advertising. In this case, it has complied with what was promised, although it will be implemented only in the “Following” and “For you”. Therefore, it does not apply to the ads that we will see in the profiles and events of the window “To explore“. According to Musk, with this new update, Blue subscribers will be able to see twice as many organic tweets that do not come from a promotion or advertisement.
The next thing that falls within Elon Musk’s objectives is to add a most expensive subscription plan from Twitter Blue to have no ads in the future. Finally, Musk adds that paying users will receive a increased visibility when they interact with a tweet, well your answers will appear first.
