What will Meta Verified cost you and what does it really mean?

When Twitter first began providing verified accounts way back near the beginning of the startup, they made sense. Celebrities, public figures, journalists, these were all people who reasonably needed some level of protection for their identity, not just because of internet trolls though that is always a problem, but to lend credibility to whatever is posted that we can be mostly certain the person tweeting was or represented that person.

Since Elon Musk took over Twitter and released and re-released the new paid blue checkmark service, that former credibility has taken a hit. Twitter charges $11 per month while Meta is going with $12 or $15 depending on your platform. Discord, Reddit, YouTube and others have added similar subscription models to their services, but they tend to offer additional services and features. Meta and Twitter can only really offer you the check mark and the promise that you'll be more protected from online trolls .
