Twitter seems to be planning to remove a crucial function for its Blue subscribers, which could be the first step in a complete overhaul.
This is in response to reports that the cost of a Twitter Blue subscription has increased. Following Elon Musk’s announcement that the entire Twitter authentication process would be redesigned, the idea might be the first of several modifications. The subscription rate would also be increased from $4.99 to $19.99 in total.
After Elon Musk’s official acquisition of Twitter, the recent days have been extremely hectic at the company’s headquarters. Soon enough, publishers’ ad-free content may no longer be accessible to Twitter Blue subscribers.
The social network platform is discontinuing the function that enabled Blue subscribers to see articles without advertisements, the Wall Street Journal said. A premium monthly subscription gives subscribers special access to premium Twitter functions so they may personalize their online experience. Musk tweeted about the makeover of Twitter:
The whole verification process is being revamped right now

Twitter Blue is the name of the subscription service that is now available in Canada, the United States, New Zealand, and Australia. Twitter Blue is not intended to become a completely paid service, the social media platform stated at the time of its launch in 2021.
It noted that the free plan of Twitter is not fleeting because of the Blue service. Just an opt-in layer of personalization for the Twitter user experience is what Twitter Blue provides.
Shortly after Elon Musk finalized the platform’s acquisition, rumors regarding incorporating cryptocurrency into Twitter payments started to circulate. Musk’s long-standing advocacy of his preferred cryptocurrency, Dogecoin (DOGE), fed the narrative.
In the past week, the price of Dogecoin (DOGE) has significantly increased as a result of this. The price of Dogecoin (DOGE) increased by a remarkable 128% in the past week. The price of Dogecoin (DOGE) is currently $0.1385, increased by 13.94% over the previous day.
