Twitter's Future: Paid Subscribers and Verified Accounts Dominate 'For You' Feed.

TL;DR Summary
Elon Musk announced that starting April 15, only verified accounts will be eligible to be in the "For You" recommendations on Twitter, and unverified users will lose their poll participation privileges. The only way to become verified is to pay for it through Twitter Blue, the $8 per month subscription service. Musk has been pushing for more Twitter Blue subscriptions to boost revenue, but uptake has been slow. The real reason behind the billionaire's Twitter choices almost certainly comes back to money, and he has internally hinted that his social media platform is now worth less than half of what he bought it for.
