Blue Twitter Subscription Now Available Around The World!
JAKARTA - Twitter's social networking platform has confirmed that Twitter Blue subscriptions are now available globally worldwide.
Although Twitter Blue's subscription has actually been around for a long time, after Elon Musk managed to buy Twitter last year, he overhauled the way users verify as a whole, including Blue subscriptions.
In November 2022, a new Twitter Blue subscription came back. In addition to getting a blue tick, Blue subscribers will also get several other benefits such as tweeting up to 4,000 characters, ranking higher in replies, editing posts, undo tweets, and much more

The new Twitter Blue subscription also launched several verification colors. For example, Twitter has started accepting applications for gray ticks that verify government officials and organizations, not to mention the equivalent in multilateral institutions.
As for business accounts, you can already apply for verification to get a gold tick in your account. In addition, for a business account, Twitter will also display a square profile image next to its gold tick.
Global launch may be important to increase Blue's popularity. Launching Engadget, according to leaked sources, Blue's paid subscription reported to have only 180,000 subscribers in the US in mid-January.
Meanwhile, CEO Elon Musk is said to want half of Twitter's revenue to come from subscriptions, and that requires a wide range of audiences. Now, Twitter Blue's availability is very broad, and is expected to provide more revenue for the platform.
For information, the subscription price of Twitter Blue in Indonesia is set at IDR 120 thousand per month, or IDR 1.25 million per year, for those who register via the web version of Twitter. While those who register via iOS/Android, they will be charged IDR 165 thousand per month, and IDR 1.98 million per year.
