Twitter followed through on its plan to remove blue verification check marks from accounts that were not paying $8 a month for Twitter Blue. Two days later, many popular but unpaid accounts had their check marks restored against their will.
What do Twitter’s blue check marks signify? After this weekend, it’s increasingly difficult to figure out.
There was widespread speculation that all accounts with more then 1 million followers had their check marks restored — whether they wanted them or not. And many were vocal that they did not. Per Musk’s new media-relations policy, Twitter replied with a poop emoji when emailed by MarketWatch on Sunday to explain the situation.
Last week, Musk conceded he was personally paying for Twitter Blue accounts for prominent personalities Stephen King, LeBron James and William Shatner, after it was publicly observed that those badges remained after most so-called legacy verification check marks were gone.
