The site, formerly known as Twitter, now allows its Blue subscribers to hide the once coveted «blue checkmark» – a status symbol for which they pay $8 a month.
X Blue, a so-called «premium subscription service», allows paid users a number of in-app features, including the ability to edit posts and share longer video clips. Subscribers also get priority in ranking users in conversations under posts and in search, allowing them to engage more actively with a wider audience.

But perhaps most importantly — subscribing to X Blue gives users a «blue checkmark» confirming their account. X Blue now allows subscribers to hide that check mark.
«As a subscriber, you can hide the checkmark on your account. The checkmark will be hidden in your profile and posts. The checkmark may still appear in some places, and some features may show that you have an active subscription. Some features may not be available while your checkmark is hidden»” X Blue’s Help Center says.

Since taking over the site last year, Ilon Musk has attempted to completely overhaul the verification process. In November, he announced Blue’s subscription plan, saying that the previous «lord and peasant system of determining who has or doesn’t have a blue check mark is a load of crap».
Here’s what I mean.
«Power to the people! Blue for $8 a month», —Musk added.
But when users began mocking accounts that signed up for the service, and celebrities such as actress Lili Reinhart and writer Stephen King said they wouldn’t pay for a checkmark, Company X, then known as Twitter, allowed the checkmarks to be hidden for those who had paid for them
