The acquisition of Twitter, which businessman Elon Musk had been talking about for some time, was finally completed last month. Elon became the head of Twitter and is expected to carry out reforms in the future. Since the news of the acquisition, users including celebrities have been posting one after another, “I’m leaving Twitter.
Don’t be silly, Twitter should pay the contributors!
On the 27th of last month, Elon Musk completed his acquisition of Twitter. So far, Elon has suggested that Twitter revamp the process of attaching the certification mark and charge for it, as well as relaxing the restrictions on what can be posted.
However, there are concerns that if the proposal to ease restrictions on posting is actually implemented, not only will there be an increase in hate speech (discriminatory comments about race, gender, etc.), but former President Donald Trump, who was “banned” from Twitter for repeatedly making extreme comments, may also return. Former President Donald Trump, who was “banned” from Twitter for repeated radical comments, may also return to the site.
Among the proposals to charge a fee are those that would impose a fee on influencers, athletes, and other celebrities who wear a blue check mark “badge of approval. Popular author Stephen King, known as the “King of Horror,” responded, “Twenty dollars a month for an authentication badge? Twitter should pay the poster.
Elon commented on the post, saying, “We need to do something about it.
We need to make our expenses somehow. How about $8? I’ll give you a long-winded explanation of why before it’s implemented. This is the only way we can get rid of the bots and trolls.”
Later, on his Twitter account, Elon revealed that the verification badge would cost $8 per month (the price would vary by country), but that it would also come with benefits such as fewer ads to display and the ability to post longer videos.
Then, a celebrity with a certification badge said, “I’m leaving Twitter. Shonda Rhimes, a screenwriter whose credits include the hugely popular U.S. drama “Grey’s Anatomy,” posted, “I’m not going to stay here for what Elon has in mind. Bye,” she posted.
Singer-songwriter Sara Bareillis added, “It’s been fun so far, Twitter, I’m out. See you all on other social networking sites. Sorry, but this is not the place for me.
In the midst of all this, actor and screenwriter Jim Beaver made it clear that he would not quit Twitter, and gave his reasons as follows.
I don’t want to abandon a place where fascism, disorder, and hysteria have the power to make movies in poor taste; I want to stay there and make my voice heard.” It won’t matter to me if the certification badge is gone. We went for years without it to begin with.”
Some users have said, “If my favorite celebrities and influencers stop using Twitter, there’s no point in doing it,” and it will be interesting to see what other celebrities and others choose to do with it.
