Twitter will soon start charging users $8 a month for the coveted blue verification badge. This is sure to cause some uproar among the Twitterati, but it’s a small price to pay for the privilege of being verified.

Twitter has announced that it will begin charging users $8 a month for the ability to verify their identity with a blue badge.

$8 For Verified Twitter

This change comes as Twitter seeks to increase its revenue by offering more opportunities for users to pay for features. It also follows a recent controversy in which the company was accused of giving preferential treatment to celebrities and other public figures who were able to verify their accounts.

While the price tag may seem like a lot, it’s important to consider what you’re getting in exchange for your money. The verification badge confers a certain level of prestige and can make your account more visible to other users. It also allows you to access special features, such as filters that remove unwanted replies from your timeline.

The monthly fee for the badge will be charged automatically to verified users’ credit or debit cards. If a user does not want to pay the fee, they can uncheck the “Verified Badge” box in their settings.

Ultimately, whether or not the verification badge is worth it comes down to how much value you place on it. If you’re an individual user who simply wants to add a bit of extra legitimacy to your account, then it may not be worth paying for. However, if you’re a business or brand that wants to take advantage of all that Twitter has to offer, then the monthly fee may be well worth it.

Existing verified users will lose their checkmark in 90 days if they don’t subscribe to the new Twitter Blue after it launches.
