Elon Musk Makes Another Twitter Change People Hate

They just keep coming.

Ever since Elon Musk bought Twitter  (TWTR) - Get Free Report in October 2022, the billionaire has been making one big change after another.

His latest push has been to monetize the blue verified checkmark that many users have enjoyed as a free feature for more than a decade, a process that started some months ago but is finally going into effect this week.

On the evening of March 27, Musk dealt yet another blow to long time users of the service -- not only would they lose their verified status and lose access to two-step verification without paying $7 a month, but appearing in the app's new "For You" section will only be for verified users as well.

The For You page is Twitter's version of the same page on TikTok, and a key way for users to get exposure to new followers on the social media app. So if you're an influencer or a business and want new people to discover you, you're gonna have to pay for the privilege.

When questioned about paying for a service from a company with significant customer service issues (Musk set up an auto response of a poop emoji to customer service inquiries last week), Musk's reply was that he was "working on it."
