JE Technology Desk: Twitter, a microblogging platform, has been in the news for implementing restrictions for free users and pushing its paid Blue subscription. And in the latest move, Twitter owner Elon Musk has urged Twitterati to pay for the verified subscription to "earn thousands of dollars" in a month.
The Tesla CEO added that users can earn this amount via advertising revenue sharing once they become paying subscribers. However, he was silent on how users can achieve this without five million impressions in a month on their posts and in the absence of over 10,000 followers, which are key conditions to be eligible for revenue sharing. Here's what he tweeted:
"Many accounts on this platform can earn thousands of dollars per month in advertising revenue sharing if they become verified subscribers!" Further, he added: "Takes 2 mins to become a verified subscriber for $7/month (annual plan)." The Indian pricing of the annual plan starts from Rs 6,800. And the monthly plan costs Rs 650.
The comments section of the post is ringing since the information was posted. A verified user claimed they had "50 million impressions last month" but did get the benefits of monetisation. Also, users added they have been waiting for verification for months now.
Twitter Logo To Change Soon?
Amid all this craze, Musk also said in a tweet, "And soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds." However, he did not share details about what is cooking. His tweet came before announcing that a new X logo could go live tomorrow.
On a different note, he also said that Twitter "aspires to be the best (or least bad) source of truth on the Internet." The tweet has garnered over eight lakh views, 13,000 likes and 3700+ retweets at the time of filing.
