TweetDeck Allegedly To Be Integrated With Twitter Blue, Can No Longer Be Accessed Free!
JAKARTA - Cybersecurity researcher Jane Manchun Wong, claims that Tweetdeck will soon be inaccessible for free, because it may have a system and join the Twitter Blue subscription service.
It is known, TweetDeck is a tool that allows users to manage multiple Twitter accounts from a single interface. This is very useful for people who need to keep track of news events or from different people or businesses.
Through his Twitter, Wong explained that he first discovered the application registration page which was in progress on March 16.
While checking the Twitter app, he saw a code to install an access gateway to Tweetdeck designed to redirect users to the Twitter Blue signup page if they don't already have a paid subscription.
Later, Wong followed up with new details in yesterday's tweet, he stated Twitter was still working on the new Tweetdeck login page and the page even had a link to an older version of TweetDeck. Wong also highlighted related marketing copy about ad-free experiences.
It's not impossible that Twitter did it as part of its efforts to appear friendlier to the community and third-party developers, but it seems the company integrated Twitter Blue knowing that TweetDeck could be a big selling point.

Twitter Blue subscription itself costs 2.99 US dollars or the equivalent of Rp. 42 thousand per month. Unfortunately, Twitter Blue is not ad-free.
Citing The Verge, Friday, April 1, however, it is mentioned that TweetDeck will be an ad-free service. It's quite different and has improved.
That being said, users will still have to see how Twitter will integrate TweetDeck into its subscription model and whether all of its features will be available to paying subscribers.
The company may choose to remain silent for now, though a screenshot Wong shared within the app shows work on folding it into Twitter Blue is in progress.
