The world’s most popular micro-blogging website X, formerly known as Twitter, has returned the free blue ticks to some of its users.
Elon Musk, the owner of X, bought Twitter for $44 billion in 2022, after which several major changes were made for which the site also faced severe criticism.
One of those changes was that Elon Musk set a fee to get a blue tick on X, meaning users who wanted their account verified had to pay a fee.
But now X has suddenly restored the free blue checks of some users for free, delighting them.
According to a statement released by X, the free subscription is given to X’s influential users, who have more followers on the networking site.
According to X, all these accounts will also have the option to terminate the complimentary subscription.
It is also worth mentioning here that Elon Musk announced a few days ago that paid accounts with 2500 subscribers will be able to get premium features for free.
Also paid accounts with 5,000 subscribers will get premium plus features for free.
