Since its acquisition by Elon Musk, the social network used by millions of users around the globe for years, Twitter, is undergoing major changes. Here the problem is that many of them are not having the expected acceptance at all, as is the case now in the case that we are going to talk about and that will make many leave the platform.
Since Musk’s aforementioned purchase, the problems have not only appeared on the social network as such. Many of its users do not agree at all with the changes introduced over the last few months and even its workers are leaving the company. Undoubtedly, and due to all this, a multitude of long-time regulars of the blue bird social network are making the decision to abandon the online service.
In addition, its new owner is prioritizing, for many excessively, the payment for the use of the social network. Until its arrival, most of the users of the platform made use of a good part of its functions at no cost. However, and to the chagrin of many, this is a trend that is changing significantly, as we will see below.
Of course the controversy is served, especially since the last publication of Elon Musk himself on Twitter. In his recent tweet, he again makes it clear that unless you start paying to use the social network, you are going to become a practically invisible user to the rest. How could it be otherwise, this is going to raise a lot of controversy and it is going to become one more reason for many of his regulars to leave the platform.
If you don’t pay on Twitter, you won’t be anyone on the social network
To give you a more approximate idea of ​​what we are telling you, his publication Elon Musk tells us that only verified users, that is, paid users, will be able to vote in the surveys and appear in the For You tab on Twitter. In this way, it makes official the important change that the majority will not like at all.

Starting April 15th, only verified accounts will be eligible to be in For You recommendations.
The is the only realistic way to address advanced AI bot swarms taking over. It is otherwise a hopeless losing battle.
Voting in polls will require verification for the same reason.

Throughout the last few months we have been able to verify various movements and tactics by the new owner of the social network. Many of them are focused on getting users to pay for a Twitter Blue subscription. Well, this is the last tactic used for all this and it could mean the end of the platform. And it is that, with this announced change, it will make users who do not pay on the platform practically become invisible.
To date we have seen that it has offered exclusive features to those who pay Blue. In addition, he has threatened the rest with removing their verified status. Well, as part of this push-to-pay campaign on Twitter, Musk is now warning that unverified users won’t be able to appear in For You tab suggestions.
Likewise, as we told you, they will not be able to vote in the platform’s surveys either. At this point it is important to know that this is a change that will take effect as of April 15, 2023. Musk himself argues that this modification is carried out to solve the problem of bots in the social network, although this is an explanation that does not convince almost anyone.
