The service was not tied to being verified until this point. It cost $4.99 a month and included the ability to read ad-free articles and modify your navigation bar. You can set an NFT as your profile picture. As of Tuesday, the ad-free articles portion was removed, though it seems Musk wants to work with publishers in some way.

Musk has said that he would like to reduce the reliance on advertising for revenue. The plan to charge $20 a month for verification was discussed internally and employees were given a week to implement it.

The in-app documentation for Blue is for the old system, but Musk hasn't said when the new pricing and feature set will go into effect. Musk has said that Blue will give the company a revenue stream to reward content creators, but he has not said what those rewards will look like.

How the verification system will work is not clear. It has been available to a small group of high-profile users who may be imitated or spread misinformation. Musk wants to use the system to control the amount of email.

In a reply to author Stephen King, Musk mentioned the price of $8. The bills need to be paid somehow. Early Tuesday, Musk wrote. Advertisers can't be relied on entirely. How about an amount of money?

Blue will reward content creators after we first published this article, according to Musk.
