The verification system that Twitter is introducing, which requires people to pay in order to have their accounts verified, is causing a lot of chaos. CEO Elon Musk himself has stepped in to pay for some celebrities’ verification when they refuse to do so, demonstrating just how important it is for users of the social media site.
Twitter is tightening its rules on who can post ads on its platform, confirming reports that it will start requiring verified accounts to run advertisements. Even current verified users were not exempt from the new policy, which went into effect today. This move likely comes in response to Russia’s well-documented efforts to use Twitter as a tool of political influence.
The email states that “Starting from April 21 (today), verified checkmarks are required to continue running ads on the platform.” This change might hurt smaller businesses, who will not be able to afford the verification fee. Additionally, this requirement might make it more difficult for those who do not have verified status to get around hiding their identity.

Building a better Twitter through verification
Hello!
Starting April 21, your @account must have a verified checkmark or subscribe to either Twitter Blue or Verified Organizations to continue running ads on Twitter. Business accounts spending in excess of $1000 per month already have gold checks or will soon, and they’ll continue to enjoy access to advertising without interruption at this time.
This change aligns with Twitter’s broader verification strategy: to elevate the quality of content on Twitter and enhance your experience as a user and advertiser. This approach also supports our ongoing efforts to reduce fraudulent accounts and bots.
Subscribing to either of these services means you have been verified by Twitter as a real person and/or business.
Amongst other features, you’ll have a more visible organic presence and a broader range of creation tools. We’re excited for you to get started and to benefit from a superior Twitter experience.

Vetting newfound followers could be a powerful strategy for maintaining credibility and importance on Twitter. Not only does verification provide an extra level of assurance for users, but it can also help you get more engagement from your followers.
Hello there! My name is ____________ and I’m a student at _______.
Starting April 21, verified accounts on Twitter will have access to premium ads, which means businesses that spend over $1000 per month can continue advertising without interruption.
Starting today, verified accounts will feature a blue badge on their profile. This badge signals to others that an account is trustworthy and authentic. As part of our ongoing efforts to create a quality experience for users and advertisers, verified accounts will also see improvements including: Increased visibility in search results and Tweets; Faster loading times; And higher throughput when Tweeting.

One major challenge for Twitter is how to convert ad dollars into sustained user growth. While subscription services have been successful for companies like Spotify and Uber, they are not as well-suited for a social network that depends on users messaging each other. As a result, Twitter has focused on increasing the number of ads it shows users per day, hoping that more advertising will translate into more user engagement.
It is currently unknown whether or not only verified accounts will be able to advertise on Twitter, but it would make sense to require verification in order to reduce spam and deter other bad actors. However, the $8 monthly fee is not a major deterrent in itself, as many businesses will likely be willing to pay for increased visibility on the platform.
In light of the recent changes to Twitter’s advertising policies, some businesses may be wondering if they need to switch over to the paid account tier in order to continue promoting their tweets. However, it looks like there are still some ways that business owners can promote their tweets without having to pay for Twitter Blue. For example, official accounts such as agencies, embassies, and parliaments will still have a verified checkmark and won’t have to pay for extra features. Additionally, businesses can promote their tweets via promoted tweets or retweets by paying $1 per thousand impressions.
Even if advertising spend on Twitter does decline as a result of this announcement, it’s difficult to see how this move will actually make much of a difference. While people may be more likely to visit the site without ads barrarding their view, it’s doubtful that advertisers would substantially switch away from Twitter because of it.
Twitter provides a platform for people to share their thoughts and ideas with the world. This openness has allowed for some interesting discussions, one of which is the use of hashtags. A hashtag is a keyword preceded by the pound sign (#). For example, the hashtag #techground would be used to discuss all things tech-related on Twitter. While this might seem like a simple concept, it can be extremely useful when trying to track discussions related to a specific topic. For example, if you are following a discussion about new Android releases, using #android would allow
