The Twitter virus spreads: Instagram could charge to verify accounts

Many times the things that they don’t like are the ones that are normalized and this is something that is happening with social networks. Beyond the content that is published, it seems that companies have decided to make the free services we are talking about much more profitable. The starting gun has been given by Twitter with the arrival of Elon Musk, but it seems that Instagram could follow him in a short time when it comes to generating a subscription where it did not exist before. At the moment the company is silent, but data has been known when accessing the code of one of the latest versions of the Instagram application, that is when the surprise has come. This is none other than the possibility of creating a subscription in order to obtain the blue badge that verifies users. Therefore, something very similar to what Twitter has done with Blue and which, unfortunately, seems to be the way to act from now on for some to increase revenue. But the bad news does not end here, since the same source of inflation indicates that this same reference would have been seen for the other social network that Meta has: Facebook. Therefore, the company led by Mark Zuckerberg would have seen that what was executed by Elon Musk makes all the sense in the world and, as a result, would take the step to imitate him. As they say ‘everything sticks, except beauty’. More data is needed to be sure of this Obviously, the data that is available is insufficient to confirm that the subscription to obtain verification on Facebook and Instagram is something real. But on many other occasions with similar data, the changes have ultimately been effective. Therefore, we will have to be attentive to see what are the movements made by the social networks we are talking about, since the bad news could come soon enough for them to understand that this is a way to increase the profitability of their products, without This will put an end to the gratuity of these. It should not be forgotten that Mark Zuckerberg has been clear for a long time that we have to give way to an era of products that generate money because they are efficient and attractive. In this way, this would be a logical move to find this on the two social networks… Another thing is what users think, of course. The truth is that the Metaverse is not cheap, and you have to make it pay off in every possible way. Creation of different types of users on Instagram This is what happened de facto in the two social networks, since those who pay would have things that those who do not have that possibility do not. This has always happened, and all you have to do is look at mobile games, where payments to get better items are the order of the day (come on, gunpowder hasn’t been discovered). But, effectively, both Instagram and Facebook would become as classist as Twitter, and this may sooner or later turn against them. We will see. >
