$8 subscription will includes some exiting perks like minimal ads, will be able to upload long videos, and chances of getting their quality tweets on the top.
The current Twitter verification system, which was introduced in 2009 to stop people from impersonating prominent accounts like politicians and celebrities, will be phased out. Currently, there are over 423,000 verified accounts on Twitter, many of which are independent journalists from around the world who were confirmed despite having few followers.
Twitter verification came to an action immediately after Twitter started firing employees to reduce costs and on the other hand the organizations are delaying their advertisements on Twitter to wait and watch how it will function under Elon Musk the new owner.
