Nuked Hello, my fellow tech enthusiasts! Today, let’s talk about X’s latest move that has left many users surprised and perhaps a bit puzzled.
Just like Elon Musk announced, X is now offering complimentary Premium and Premium Plus memberships to accounts with a significant number of verified followers. Many X users have noticed the blue “Verified” checkmark next to their handles without having paid for any subscription tier.
Before Musk’s intervention, the verified symbol on Twitter was typically reserved for celebrities, politicians, and public figures. However, with the introduction of paid verification, it became more accessible to anyone willing to purchase a Premium membership.
Previously verified X users who chose not to pay lost their checkmarks, but thanks to Musk’s recent decision, many accounts with large followings are now being re-verified automatically.
