After the havoc that has been the revamped Twitter Blue subscription service with a number of fake accounts impersonating celebrities and companies around the world causing havoc, the service was relaunched in December. Now, the platform offers an annual subscription in addition to the monthly one.<\/p>\n

\"Twitter<\/p>\n

The monthly subscription in the US, for example, costs $8 a month, or $11 if you’re an iOS user, while an $84 annual payment will grant you a blue badge for a year. That makes about $7 a month, which isn’t a huge discount, but it’s still something if you’re a “hardcore” user and plan to pay for it anyway.<\/p>\n

For the uninitiated, Twitter Blue gives you not only a blue verification badge, but also priority conversation replies, a 60-minute video upload limit, a thread reader, and the ability to edit tweets.<\/p>\n

As of right now, the service is only available in select countries: US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. A larger rollout is expected in the coming months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
