With the purchase of Twitter by Ilnon Musk, there is more news every day about the changes he has in mind. Let's start with the news about raising the price of Twitter’s Blue subscription.
Recently, The Verge broke the news that Elon Musk plans to raise the price of a subscription from $4.99 to $19.99. This news stirred up many users, including writer Stephen King. There was a funny exchange between him and Musk on Twitter in which they agreed to bring down the price of the subscription to at least $8, which is still well above the $4.99 (this is how much the subscription costs now).
It also became known that a paid subscription will now guarantee all blue subscribers a "Verified" badge. This can be a really good boost for many users as this badge has always been extremely difficult to obtain. But it has also come to light that existing verified users will lose their checkmark in 90 days if they don’t subscribe to the new Twitter Blue after it launches.
Among the other advantages of the subscription, Elon highlighted the fact that blue subscribers will see half as many ads as regular users.
And now let's finish with the really good news. The button for editing tweets will become available to absolutely all Twitter users. This was previously only available to Blue subscribers. The feature will give users a 30-minute period to make changes to posts, so don't be afraid to make mistakes, but keep an eye on the time.
The appearance of these innovations on Twitter is expected on November 7th.
