Meta is taking a page from Twitter and offering a subscription service, which will give Facebook and Instagram users benefits for a fee. "The perks include algorithmic boosts to
posts, human customer service, and added protection from impersonation," per The Atlantic. "Meta’s paid verification follows Elon Musk’s controversial decision last year to
include its famous blue check marks in its Twitter Blue subscription package. Not long after Twitter’s decision, Tumblr launched
its own paid verification plan, which was
initially meant as a joke mocking Musk’s ham-fisted business strategy but ended up increasing
the company’s revenue. Netflix is also looking to squeeze
extra money
out of its viewers with its plan to end password sharing across different households."advertisement
