Twitter is set to charge businesses $1,000 a month for brand verification — continuing to look to earn revenue on formally free services under new owner Elon Musk.

Social media consultant Matt Navarra first reported the new charge, along with screenshots allegedly showing Twitter employees offering the price to businesses looking to sign up as a "Verified Organization."

The Information confirmed the report Friday, adding that it is currently unclear when the change will take effect and when businesses that don't pay will lose their gold check.

Twitter currently offers gold checks 768px-Twitter_Verified_Badge_Gold.svg.pngto verified businesses, and also allows them to place a small, hyperlinked version of their logo next to the gold check of other pages associated with their business. 

In addition to the $1,000 per month for a business account, Twitter plans to charge $50 each for the affiliated accounts.

Is Elon's solution really to just charge users for every basic function. Soon, $1 to sent a tweet. 25c to like or retweet. Billed monthly in arrears

That is not the same at all. Netflix just wants u to pay ur own god dam subscription like ur supposed to do for any service. Still don't get why that's so triggering for some ppl :toofunny:

 

Twitter on the other hand, this price is full out price gauging
