I think if someone can't afford $8 for Twitter Blue, they should probably get off of Twitter and find more ways to make money. There is plenty of work all aroun

  There are plenty of hard-working people who wouldn't want to budget $8/month for something nonessential like a social media app. There's no need to disparage them.

    Then don't get something nonessential such as the blue checkmark. You can still use Twitter.

      I already have it. It's due to the account being of a fairly big online thing I built circa 2008. That no longer exists. A blue checkmark was only given to people with impersonation problems, if you proved that any media (newspaper, online blogs,etc) had published about you, making that noteworthy. I have a blue checkmark, and twitter doesn't know who I am technically.

  To me it's more that I'm unwilling to take on any more subscriptions. They all seem small in isolation, but they accumulate into a meaningful sum.
