 Elon Musk drops Twitter blue. Well, he doesn't drop Twitter blue. They already had Twitter blue, but they've made some announcements. So I'm gonna put this stuff on the screen, but there's some features. Is there a way I can get to that other site where we can just read the features straight up? I'm out. That was straight on Twitter. Yeah, that was right on Twitter. So I'll just say this and then we want to, I want you to read out the actual features that they're gonna have specifically. I know a lot of you said it was coming soon, but Twitter's increasing the price of subscription service. Moving forward, Twitter blue will cost $8 per month in the US with pricing and other countries adjusted for purchasing power of consumers and those markets. All right, but what are those features? Yeah, so all of them are coming, something like you said. None of them are super here, but I got rocket to the top of replies, mentions in search. So tweets from verified users will be prioritized, helping to fight scams and spam. So your tweets go to the top of the feed. Okay. See half of the ads. So you subscribers get 50% viewer ads, fewer ads than subscribers. You can post longer videos. So it says you'll finally be able to post longer videos to Twitter and then you get early access to some of the other features coming out. One being you can edit a tweet of the five times within 30 minutes, have NFTs as your profile pictures and then upload 1080p videos. But all of it is really coming soon. None of it is here yet. So what about the verified thing? Cause I know that that's what most people, I wonder about or care about. Yeah, you get to check Mark. You get to verify. Just for having it. So are people who aren't paying for it lose their verification? Yeah. So that's why they've been, no all the celebrities been bitching at him on Twitter about it brother. Cause they gonna lose it. We're gonna try to handle this in three to five minutes max. Cause I know I got to hop off of this call, but what do you think about that? I understand it. I think he made a good point about like, Twitter needs to start making some money outside of this ad revenue. So I do think that it will, I saw this post this morning about how there were Twitter employees who were like illegally selling verification, right? They would sell them for like crazy numbers, like 15k, 20k. We've come across people who try to get us with certain amounts and ask for certain things to pay for it. And I would much rather pay eight dollars a month than pay 20 bands of some person on the inside that might not make it happen. And I can't complain about it, right? Cause I wasn't supposed to be doing it anyway, right? So I think it's a interesting step from his end to stop that and to set a new precedent for verification where it's like, I mean, it's still not like anybody can just be verified, right? You still have to meet the other requirements of it, or at least the social media requirement or the social requirements for it. So I think it's a good step for like how verification should be on platform. Cause there's no reason why if I meet all the criteria to be verified, it shouldn't be as hard as it is now to get verified. So I like that he's lowering that barrier to entry to it and making a little bit of money off of it, you know what I'm saying? You know, bruh, I agree with you completely on that. I hadn't thought about the fact that, hey man, you know, I'm paying for this anyway. And I'm paying and I'm taking a risk when I pay for it, but this removes the risk from that. So I love that aspect of it. And here's another thing I'm gonna say for it. So the thing is, this is what it's for anyway, identification issues, right? So it's really about identification. People having to pay for it makes it way more believable. I mean, way more secure because like people with bots, people aren't gonna really just pay a whole bunch of money month over month over month just to impersonate. Yeah, 100%. Like, so that eliminates that issue by and large, right? Of course there might still be ways around it, but it eliminates a lot of that issue. You know, I think we got caught up in this idea that verification is about status, but it's not, the core reason is, this is who this person is, they are who they say they are. That's why I don't know if you saw the Kathy Griffin, like they trolled Elon Musk. Yeah, by changing, making him pay for Elon's pay. And they were trying to make it seem like, oh, Elon's being soft and that and that, like no, it'd be one thing if you were a regular profile and you were spoofing them, but you're a verified profile and people will see Elon Musk and they see the verification. That's literally the reason that verification exists. You violated how that puts some things at risk, you should get banned. Like it's just that simple, right? Like politics aside for it, but I think a lot of people don't understand like this is all it's for, it's not all this like status and- And cloud and all that shit. Yeah, and all of that. So I think ultimately it's a good thing. And like you gave me that money argument. I had never thought about that. That is, that takes it over the top for me. Like shoot, I really want this thing, cool. Because business models for artists, creatives, you know, people in media, those are the people who really need it, all right? Like everybody else, you don't need it. So as a business expense, $8 a month ain't shit. There's nothing bro, yeah. So make sure that all my users know that this is me. My customers don't get scammed. I show up to the top of people's feet, that's nothing bro. It's nothing, nothing at all. So now I'm all for the paid verification and we'll see how it goes. Maybe there's something else that I'm against as a part of this process, but even the features that you read seem like, that's just like icing on the cake. I'm gonna sign up for it as soon as I get home. All right, you're gonna have to do an update on Forrest on the next episode. Yeah, I got you. All right, bet bet. Appreciate you watching Fun Fact.
