Twitter Blue users paying $8 to stay verified hit by ‘#BlockTheBlue’ campaign

• On Thursday, Twitter accounts with legacy verification began losing their blue checkmarks.
• Users must now pay $8 a month for Twitter Blue if they want to remain verified.
• As blue checks disappeared, a “Block the Blue” campaign is targeting those paying for Twitter Blue.

Twitter users are dissing the remaining verified accounts after legacy blue checkmarks finally started disappearing Thursday.

Twitter has undergone a series of changes since Elon Musk took over in October, and its latest move took away blue checkmarks from public figures who chose not to pay $8 a month for Twitter Blue.
