Celebrities refusing to pay for Twitter

1

No free blue tick

Twitter made it a must for users to pay $8 (Rs. 659 in India) if they wanted to retain the blue tick. However, this move irked certain entities who enjoyed a free verified status on their legacy accounts.

2

Issue

Earlier, accounts were verified based on different parameters. The process was opaque. Now, users have to get a Twitter Blue subscription to enjoy the verified badge and other features.

3

Disputes

Major news outlets like BuzzFeed and Washington Post refuse to pay for verification but still have verified badges. However, The New York Times had its badge removed after refusing to comply, causing tension.

4

US Govt is not paying

The US government won't pay for Twitter Blue as it lacks person-level verification, making the blue check mark only for paid users. Currently, the White House's profile has a gray badge.

5

Koo is still free

Koo, Twitter's rival in India, will not charge users for a verified badge, according to CEO Aprameya Radhakrishna. It is yet to be seen if celebrities will migrate from Twitter to Koo.
