At the stroke of midnight on April 21, several
notable personalities and celebrities had their Twitter 'blue tick'
verification removed for failing to pay verification fees. This development
elicited a response from TV personalities.
In a tweet, Rashami expressed her delight
about the morning, stating that she felt amazing and added, "@elonmusk I
love you."
In a tweet, Kushal Tandon greeted everyone who
is not verified on Twitter, stating "Good morning," and added,
"Hail to the musk melon."
Hiten Tejwani took to Twitter and expressed
his surprise over the loss of his blue tick verification, stating,
"Okay... my blue tick is gone?!" The removal of the coveted blue tick
seems to have taken many by surprise, and social media platforms have faced criticism
for implementing the verification fee.
Kavita Kaushik responded to the news of
Twitter removing blue tick verifications by sharing a picture of herself in a
Yoga pose on the platform. She stated that she would be present the following
day, "Freely Tangled up," and would be triggering some individuals
while being loved by a few. She acknowledged that she might be misunderstood by
many and only vibed with a select few but emphasized that she was mainly
unverified. Her response highlights the importance placed on verified status on
social media and the impact it can have on an individual's online presence.
Ridhi Dogra, another celebrity who lost her
blue tick verification, expressed her discontent with Twitter's recent actions
in a tweet. She highlighted that the removal of the blue tick from some of the
country's pride was a more significant issue than her own loss of verification.
Ridhi criticized Twitter for its approach and suggested that the platform was
losing its way. She even went on to question the relevance of Twitter, implying
that it might be time to move away from the platform. Ridhi's reaction
highlights the impact of Twitter's recent decisions on its users, particularly
those who have lost their verification status.
On April 21 at midnight, Twitter ceased to
provide its famous blue ticks, which served as a symbol of pride and
recognition. Numerous Bollywood actors and TV celebrities lost their blue ticks
on Twitter as they did not pay for the service. The new rules stipulate that a
Twitter verification mark will cost between $8-11 per month, causing many to
question the platform's approach. This decision by Twitter has raised concerns
about the significance of blue tick verification, the impact of the new rules,
and whether it is fair for individuals to pay for recognition on the platform.
The loss of blue tick verification has led
many social media influencers and celebrities to express their frustration and
disappointment on Twitter. Some have even called for a boycott of the platform
in protest against the new rules. The situation has also triggered a debate
about the role of blue ticks and whether they contribute to the elitism
prevalent in the social media space. As the debate continues, many are waiting
to see if Twitter will make any adjustments to the new rules, particularly
regarding the verification fee.
