Jakarta –
The new check has already been applied since Chirping. In addition to the paid blue mints, there are also gold mints and gray mints that replaced the previous blue mints.
The gold tick and gray tick rollout follows after Twitter previously announced a paid blue tick last week. Blue tick subscribers are offered a number of exclusive features.
Twitter sets two different subscription rates for Twitter Blue. Users who sign up via the web need to pay just USD 8 (Rp 125,000) per month, while iOS users need to pay a higher price of USD 11 (Rp 172,000).
This price difference is likely how Twitter offsets losses from the 30% commission Apple takes on subscriptions purchased through the app.
True to their promise, Twitter said it would gradually replace the blue checkmark on official accounts with a gold checkmark for business or corporate accounts and a gray checkmark for government or multilateral organization accounts. It can already be observed now.
Monitored by detikINET, Wednesday (21/12/2022) the official Twitter account is now using a golden tick. Official Twitter accounts of media outlets such as detikcom and CNN Indonesia also score gold.
Corporate accounts like SpaceX and Meta also tick the gold. If you click the gold checkmark, the message “This account has been verified on Twitter because it’s a business” appears.
Meanwhile, the official Twitter account President Joko Widodo it looks like a gray checkmark. Ministries in Indonesia for example Kominfo also gray tick.
Foreign politicians like US President Joe Biden are also a gray tick. If you click the gray checkmark, the message “This account is verified because it is a government or multilateral organization account” appears.
Have you tried to see whose account it is, detikers? Who knows, even the color has changed to a gold or gray check, or maybe it’s still blue.
