X (which many still know as Twitter), is distributing Free Premium and Premium Plus subscriptions to accounts with a large number of verified followers: free blue ticks for several subscribers.
X offers free Premium memberships to influential accounts
On Wednesday, several X users noticed the appearance of the familiar blue check mark “Verified” next to their handles. All this, despite not having signed up for any paid subscription. According to declared by MuskX accounts with over 2,500 “verified subscriber followers” will receive a free Premium membership, while those with above 5.000 they will get a free Premium Plus membership.
Prior to Musk's acquisition of X, the verification symbol was generally assigned to celebrities, politicians, journalists and other public figures. With the introduction of check the payment, anyone could get the coveted blue check by purchasing a Premium membership. But not all users had to pay. Personality like Stephen King e LeBron James they kept their blue tick, with Musk saying he had “paid for them”.
Now, it seems like many others Influential X accounts, with a following in the order of tens or hundreds of thousands of followers, are receiving the blue check again. THEregardless of their will. X users who were granted verification under the new scheme received a message informing them that they were awarded the free Premium membership.
It therefore seems that, ultimately, X wants him to most recognized and appreciated accounts have the blue tick. Even if they they don't want to. At the same time, however, he wants everyone who pays for a subscription to have it, regardless of the number of followers. So what does it mean to have the blue check?
