Hey fams 👋👋👋
Their have been lots of opinions recently about the new development taken by Twitter owner Elon Musk, honestly this as indeed spark up lot of opinions and view as user's across the globe are giving thier view and verdict on the matter, some days ago he came out with a suggestions that user's might have to pay up to $20 for account verification so to make sure that account are valid and far away from scam just as we have it now, that was very shocking to the world and I want to believed that didn't really go well as millions of user's think it's a joke.
But recently he finally twitted that the team and him have finally resolved issues ,but finally saying user's will have to pay $8 for verification of there Twitter account, honestly individuals don't really find this funny at all, as some do think that is one biggest way to put lot of measure to the social media app and also bringing an end to scam and spamming of people's accounts too, but on the other side, their are individuals who still think this development is definitely not a good idea at all, managing an account with $8 dollars monthly will not really go well with so many individuals.
What as Twitter offer's
Truly Twitter might have be one of the biggest social media presently, but it is very important that will take a look at how it as been of benefits to everyone one on it, one biggest thing that Twitter as done successfully to me is the level of informations and development been passed across when it as to do with crypto, aside this most information's that needs to do with life are also gotten from other social media like Facebook YouTube and WhatsApp at times,right now it means getting verified on Twitter is not for average person at all, which means, public figures are those who have more advantage of being verified.
How can I pay $8, when I don generate any income from them.
Aside the level of informations that people get from Twitter this days, I still don't see what other things it as given to the masses too, I must be honest that the introduction of $8 now sounds to be like the platform is not for everyone base on that ideology.
What Elon musk is not seeing
I sincerely believed that is definitely hoping for the best means of putting lot of measure to the platform, but in the other way round, am definitely sure is not definitely looking at the other side effects of it, stats has it that the numbers of individuals that are not verified on the platform currently are much more than those that are verified, which means that ideology might definitely be chasing away some user's from the platform too.
Have being asking myself, how many average individuals makes $8 dollars monthly, especially in countries where the economy are critically bad
Do the new ideas Worth bringing that value on
This are my opinion and honestly I stand by to be corrected if am misleading in any form, their are Twitb that have suggested that verified user's will have more chance of posting video with more minutes compared to what they can do before, this might sounds so good, but I still don't see this as the best option at all, social media like WhatsApp, Instagram and even TikTok are currently running this and even giving excellent ads in other to advertise and promote businesses, twitter coming up with to that level is definitely one competition that I don't see them Winning and to me once the masses don't have free access to a social media platform, tell me who will be following the public figures on it . I won't be surprised if people that are verified too end up losing user's a long the line.
I really wished that Elon musk get to understand that the influence of public figures on social media when it comes to operation is not as much as that of the masses, the introduction of $8 verification base on my understanding might definitely be a step backward for the platform.
What are you takes on $8 for verification on Twitter?
