“Unlock the Power of Twitter Blue: Elon Musk Confirms Verified Accounts Get Priority – Here’s Why You Need to Subscribe Now!”
Twitter has introduced a new subscription service, Twitter Blue, which will allow users to access exclusive features like “undo tweet” and color themes for $2.99 per month. But some of the most notable features of this subscription, including the ability to “prioritize” your Twitter feed, should concern everyone.
Twitter Blue will allow users to see “priority” content fir your feeds. The high priority contents are usually from verified accounts and with Blue status. The thought of Twitter prioritizing what we see on our feeds means that we run the risk of only seeing certain types of content, which could hinder our ability to stay informed on current events and diverse perspectives.
Additionally, the article points out Twitter Blue’s prioritization for verified accounts (accounts that have a blue checkmark) and users who are frequently interacted with. This means that content from big brands or famous individuals will be given higher priority, while small accounts or those that don’t meet Twitter’s verification criteria could be lost in the shuffle.
This feature could lead to a further divide between the “haves” and “have nots” on Twitter, instead of being a platform for everyone. It also means that those who are verified or interacted with often will have even more of an advantage in terms of reach and influence.
While the ‘undo tweet’ feature could be useful for avoiding mistakes, we should tread carefully when it comes to Twitter Blue’s other offerings. Twitter has not always been transparent in its algorithms, and this prioritization feature could further exacerbate the lack of visibility into how Twitter decides what we see on our feeds.
Key takeaway: Twitter Blue’s prioritization feature could limit our ability to see diverse perspectives and give big brands and famous individuals an even greater advantage on the platform, creating further division between the “haves” and “have nots”. Be cautious with this new offering and understand how it could impact your ability to access unbiased, informative content on Twitter.
