Amid the ongoing ‘verified’ fiasco, Twitter owner, Elon Musk has announced that verified accounts will be prioritised.
“Verified accounts are now prioritised,” wrote Musk in a tweet.
Last month, Musk said that verified users will be prioritised in the timeline, especially the algorithm-run “For You” feed. Moreover, these verified users will also get priority in the replies.
” In the coming weeks, Twitter will prioritise replies by: 1. People you follow 2. Verified accounts 3. Unverified accounts.” tweeted Musk.
In another tweet, Musk said, “Starting April 15th, only verified accounts will be eligible to be in For You recommendations.”
While we are past April 15th, you can expect to see tweets from verified users on your For You feed. Also, in the replies, while verified users will get priority over the users you do not follow, the followed users still remain the priority.
Earlier this month, Musk had said that all the legacy users would lose their verified checkmarks, which did not happen on time. Although on 4/20, the blue checkmarks of all the legacy verified users were gone, only to return later for the ‘notable’ users a few days later.
Elon himself paid for some celebrities, including Lebraon James, Stephen King, and William Shatner. And after an outburst from several celebrities, Musk apparently gave users with more than 1 million followers a free subscription to Twitter Blue, including some dead ones.
There have been speculations about Twitter giving preferential treatment to high-profile users, including Elon Musk, by boosting their tweets. Some hints of this differentiation can be seen in Twitter’s algorithm, as observed by researcher Jane Manchun Wong, who noted that tweets from Elon Musk and other “power users,” as well as tweets from Republicans and Democrats, were labelled differently.
During a Spaces session, a Twitter engineer mentioned that the labels brought in light by Jane Manchun Wong were used only for metrics.
