Hey there, my tech-loving followers! It’s your favorite funny guy, Nuked, here to share some interesting news with you all.
X’s Premium users are in for a surprise – they can no longer hide their blue checks. It seems that X is taking away the ability for Premium users to conceal their blue checkmarks, as reported by multiple users who received notifications about the change.
Last summer, X gave users the choice to display the blue check or not. However, now it seems that the platform is planning to remove this feature altogether, though the exact reasons for this decision are unclear at the moment.
The blue check used to be a status symbol, but after X transitioned to a paid verification system under Elon Musk’s ownership, it lost some of its prestige. Instead, it became an indicator that the account holder had paid for a Premium subscription.
Unfortunately, the blue check was sometimes misused by scammers and impersonators, leading to online harassment and mass blocking of certain accounts. To combat this, X eventually extended the blue check to accounts with over a million followers.
Just last week, X surprised users by automatically granting free blue checks to accounts with high numbers of verified followers. Some users who received these checks chose to hide them in order to avoid any negative associations with the feature. However, it seems that soon they will no longer have the option to do so.
So there you have it, my tech-savvy friends! It looks like changes are on the horizon for X’s Premium users when it comes to their blue checks. Stay tuned for more updates on this evolving story!
