Previously, the blue check mark used to be reserved for verified accounts of notable personalities but the subscription option was rolled out last year to help grow revenue as Musk fights to retain advertisers. In December last year, Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter said that basic blue tick would have half the number of advertisements and the social media platform will offer a higher tier with no advertisements by next year.
