this comes a few days later Twitter announced that legacy verified accounts will lose their blue check mark starting April 1, unless they sign up for paid Twitter Blue. At the same time, Twitter is working on a way for paid subscribers to hide your blue checkspresumably because it might seem embarrassing to own one if all it means is that you’ve paid for it.
Both of these changes together may lead to more subscribers (Twitter hopes), but it also guarantees that the For You page will become an orgy of hucksters, jerks, and anyone else who wants to pay for Twitter. Oh, and marks. By limiting amplification to only a small number of paid users, it makes the For You page much more open, and brands can get much more traction and amplification on a free tweet by just paying for Blue instead of buying ads.
Presumably regular unpaid accounts will only be visible in the follow feed, the chronological feed of just the people you follow, basically what Twitter used to be.
