Twitter reinstates blue ticks for some media, celebrities

Twitter’s blue ticks were reinstated on some media, celebrity, and other high-profile accounts. Once a free sign of authenticity and fame, blue ticks must now be bought by subscribers for $8 a month, Twitter stated. Non-paying accounts that had a blue tick lost it on Thursday, as owner Elon Musk implemented a strategy, dubbed “Twitter Blue”, to generate new revenue, announced last year.
