Twitter may charge $1000 per month for companies’ verified gold check marks

The Hindu  

Twitter may charge around $1000 per month for companies and organisations on the platform that want their verified gold check mark, according to alleged emails shared online. One email shared by a social media consultant on Twitter showed messages offering the ‘Verified for Organizations’ plan at $1000 per month, with an additional $50 monthly fee for additional affiliated handles. This has resulted in monetising user experiences that were free before, such as access to Twitter’s API and verified blue check marks. The news comes shortly after Mr. Musk also said that Twitter would share ad revenue with creators who were subscribed to Twitter Blue.
