Paid Blue Teak Costs Instagram and Facebook Heavy

One of the biggest changes in social media platforms in recent times is A complete change of the ‘tick-confirmed account’ system it happened. In the past, this system was a kind of ‘certificate of reliability and officiality’ of an account, but now it has turned into a ‘thing’ that is given to anyone who wants it in return for money. While the architect of this change was Elon Musk’s Twitter, Meta also announced that it was included in this trend with a recent announcement.

In this new system called Meta Verified, users will get verified profile badges, ie ‘ticks’, for a ‘small subscription fee’. The fee for the system, which is currently only applied in Australia and New Zealand $14.99 for iOS and Android, $11.99 for online purchases declared as. It is not yet clear when the system will come to Turkey or what the fee will be.

This paid system of Meta with the theme of ‘give money, see more’ seems to have backfired at the very beginning;

The verified account badges that come with Meta’s new paid system have some payoffs. While some of these are related to security, the most striking Get featured and appear more in places like ‘search, comments and suggestions’ it happened.

In short, Meta is no longer just for business/brand/influencer accounts, but also for ordinary user accounts. He says if you give us money, we will show your account to more people. He is trying to generate regular income from anyone who wants to grow his account.

However, Meta, which constantly loses the satisfaction of its users and loses them to platforms such as TikTok, due to the place they have already transformed into. seems to be losing blood with its new paid system. There were sudden increases in searches such as ‘Instagram shutdown’ ‘Facebook shutdown’, after Meta’s explanation. For example, after the announcement on February 19, the search for ‘Deactivate Instagram’ increased by 2,400%, while the search for ‘Deactivate Facebook’ increased by 1.566%.

Moreover, the feature is currently only available in two countries. When available worldwide The reaction it will see will help us to make a better conclusion, but for now, the situation does not look good for Meta.

Of course, call rates are back to normal in the following days, but This sudden reaction shows that users are not very happy with the new news they receive.. Instagram and Facebook often take a step back after unpopular and reactionary innovations. We’ll have to wait and see if something similar will happen this time around.
