Here's how much you'll have to pay to get your blue hook on Twitter
Twitter users will have to pay $84 per year starting in April to get a blue hook, which indicates that their profile and identity have been verified and authenticated by the platform. Users of the social network will also have the option of paying $8 per month to be authenticated rather than opting for the $84 monthly subscription.
On April 1st, we will begin winding down our legacy verified program and removing legacy verified checkmarks. To keep your blue checkmark on Twitter, individuals can sign up for Twitter Blue here: https://t.co/gzpCcwOpLp

One person even impersonated the American pharmaceutical company that produces insulin, Eli Lilly, and tweeted that insulin was going to be free. This announcement had inflamed the web, and the company had to issue a public apology.
