Twitter verification — characterized by a blue check badge — is now available to all users, but those paying $8 for their checkmark are getting the meme treatment from fellow tweeters.
Elon Musk's short time at the helm of Twitter has brought up-to-the-minute changes to the app, and his attempt to make verification accessible to all doesn't seem to be going over well. The $8 Twitter Blue subscription means anyone can pay to be verified, but their blue check comes with a disclaimer. The message reads,"This account is verified because it's subscribed to Twitter Blue." Those who are verified for notability however, have a message attached to their checkmark that reads,"This account is verified because it's notable in government, news, entertainment, or another designated category.
Cue the memes. The jokes are flowing as users call out anyone who would pay just to be verified on the social media platform.
