You've noticed something different about your profiles X favorites? If they have more than 2500 followers, you may see that one reappear blue tick which makes us feel “in the loop”.
Yes, you understood correctly: the former Twitternow known simply as X, has decided to take a step back and redistribute the “verified” label for free to those influential personalities who have more than 2,500 followers. This move, announced by the volcanic Elon Muskseems to be a strategy to re-embrace some popular profiles and keep up with the growing competition, such as that of Threads by Meta.
Last year, Musk had sparked quite a bit of controversy by eliminating the free blue check on X
for many, introducing a paid subscription instead. But now, the music changes: all profiles with over 2500 verified followers will enjoy free Premium services, and those with more than 5 thousand even Premium+. However, not everyone welcomed the return of the blue check with enthusiasm. Lawyer and political commentator Elie Mystal he joked on his profile: “Even if Elon branded me without permission or consent, I will still make fun of those who paid for the blue ticks.”
And you, what do you think of this new move by X? Does the blue check affect the way you perceive profiles on social media?
