Twitter Verified unfollows everyone amid confusion over Blue Tick

Twitter’s highly-anticipated plan to revoke of legacy verified accounts might finally turn into truth as the social media blogging site has begun a mass unfollowing and its following list has hit the rock bottom as it has reached ‘Zero.’

Twitter approximately followed 4,20,000 legacy verified accounts earlier. Twitter had earlier warned of winding down all the legacy verified accounts from April 1 and even removing the checkmarks for those who still had them but were not paying for a Twitter Blue subscription.

Earlier, Variety reported that the microblogging site will remove the verified check-mark status of accounts that Twitter had verified as notable before Elon Musk’s takeover unless they have subscribed to Twitter Blue.

The only individual Twitter users who will have verified blue checkmarks are those paying for Twitter Blue, which in the US would costs USD 8/month via the web and USD 11/month through in-app payment on iOS and Android.
