Musk argued Tuesday night that it’s the “only realistic way” to defend yourself against a flood of automated bot accounts.
The move could reduce the reach of tweets from users who don’t have an $8 per month subscription. However, no figures are known on how many posts on Twitter can be viewed by algorithm rather than chronological order.
After April 15, only paying subscribers will be able to participate in Twitter surveys. Among other things, Musk voted on whether he should sell more shares in Tesla, the electric car maker he runs, or open an account with former President Donald Trump.
In a survey that Musk started last year, users also stated that they should give up their sharing on Twitter. He promised to do the same – but later said that the search for the boss should last until the end of this year.
Musk talks about “verified accounts” that should be reserved for functions. But the famous verification tick on Twitter will soon have a different meaning than before. Prior to Musk’s takeover, Twitter was giving out blue icons to celebrities, politicians or journalists after they verified their personal information. This meant that the account actually belonged to a specific person or company. As Musk recently announced, these previously assigned ticks will be gone from April 1st.
Instead, only customers of the “Twitter Blue” subscription offer should be allowed to have the same symbols on their accounts as before. After the chaos with fake accounts when the first paychecks were issued in November, there are greater hurdles for that. For example, an account must be at least 90 days old and the profile photo must not have changed recently. However, according to the rules, personal identification is still not provided.
Musk bought Twitter for about $44 billion last October. It wants to focus more on subscription revenues after the drop in ad revenue.
