Just a few days into the launch of the revamped Twitter Blue system that allowed anyone with $8 to be verified, the platform has paused paid verification due to imposter accounts springing up on the platform — as almost everyone that has used Twitter predicted would happen.
The Verge reports that Twitter users are reporting that the option to enroll in Twitter Blue, the social network’s new $78 subscription service, has vanished from the platform’s iOS app just days after its launch. According to Zoe Schiffer of Platformer, the company has put a halt on the release of Twitter Blue.
Some Twitter Blue fans this morning pointed out that the link had been removed from the sidebar of the Twitter app for iOS, a fact confirmed by Breitbart Tech. For those who still have the link, signing up brings up an error message. It reads, “Thank you for your interest! Twitter Blue will be available in your country in the future. Please check back later.” Some Android users on the Twitter alpha and beta versions have said they can see the option to subscribe.
Some users even reported that they lost the checkmarks they had paid for:
Ohhh, that explains why my blue checkmark disappeared (I just subscribed today )https://t.
