a 4.99 monthly expense for accounts have who'm are likely to be world leaders, public figures, large organisations and the odd charity/public good insitute is not a steap price.
Statistically, of course it's a large increase. However from a business perspective I do not think so. A quick search indicates there are 294,000 accounts, and at 4.99 a month that would yield Twitter $1,467,060 a month, which is hardly anything. Especially as I imagine ~10-15% of those accounts will decide to forgo the badge, either in protest or because they just don't care.
- bombcar 4y agoIf you're verified on Twitter and not getting $5 a month value out of it, what even are you really doing there?
- pessimizer 4y agoAt current numbers, yes, but a lot more people might want to be verified if Musk decides that the only qualifications are that you are who you say you are, and that you're willing to prove it to twitter.
- watwut 4y agoNah, they are mostly very minor public figures and that is stretching definition of public figure for most. Majority is nowhere near to anyone big or important.
