Instagram is about to start 'selling' blue-tick verification service. Would you pay for it?
After Elon Musk decided to charge Twitter creators $11/month for blue-tick verification, Instagram is following suit. Its an easy way for social networks to make bit more money. Existing creators, who 'earned' their blue ticks are frustrated by this announcement because anyone can just 'buy' it now. Financial experts are also questioning the intent: Meta generates over $120billion cash each year and net profit from Facebook's biggest userbase (India) increased by 130% last year itself. Does it really this extra cash it wants from creators?
