Twitter, once considered a powerful social platform for people to connect, share information, and engage in discussions, is now being viewed as a mere business venture for its owner, Elon Musk. Twitter’s trustworthiness has been declining, and the latest decision to charge celebrities and public figures for verification blue ticks has infuriated users.
Verification is a way to show the authenticity of an account, and it is commonly used by public figures, celebrities, and brands to establish their identity on the platform. However, the recent move by Twitter to make verification a paid service has raised several questions about the credibility of the platform.
The recent removal of ‘verification tick’ from all the accounts that did not pay for the blue tick subscription has added fuel to the fire. The big names, including Virat Kohli, Tim Cook, and Sachin Tendulkar, have also been affected, which is an indication of how Twitter is now more focused on making money rather than serving as a credible social platform.
According to several experts, Twitter is not in the right hands and is no longer a recognised platform for social engagement or recognition.
Elon Musk, has frequently made headlines for his numerous tweets and distinctive updates, some of which seem strange and unusual. Additionally, several of his tweets have sparked debates which further highlights the questionable credibility of the platform.
