Twitter changes to benefit ‘blue check’ accounts only

Twitter CEO Elon Musk has announced changes that will whittle down the experience for those not willing to cough up verification fees for their accounts.

On Monday Musk posted: “Starting April 15th, only verified accounts will be eligible to be in For You recommendations.”

The “For You” column appears on the home page and is an algorithm feed displaying tweets and content from other accounts, but will only be available to “blue check” accounts from April 15 onwards.
