Social media giant launches $8 blue membership to combat spam accounts and improve platform quality.

Recently, the leader of a social media giant announced a major decision to price the platform's premium membership service. This service, called "Blue Membership," charges $8 per month but will be adjusted according to the purchasing power of different countries. This initiative aims to reduce the number of spam accounts on the platform while providing more incentives for content creators.

The "Blue Member" not only provides users with an identification for certified accounts but also brings a series of additional benefits. Member users will have priority display opportunities in replies, mentions, and search results, which is considered a key measure to combat spam accounts and fraudulent activities. In addition, members can post longer videos and audio content and enjoy a halved advertisement display volume.

For publishers interested in collaborating with the platform, the "Blue Member" will provide convenience in bypassing paywalls. This service will also bring new revenue streams to the platform for rewarding quality content creators. It is worth noting that a special secondary label will be displayed under the account names of public figures to distinguish them from regular users.

Previously, this tech entrepreneur stated that paid user verification is the only effective way to address the issues of bot accounts and online provocateurs on the platform. This viewpoint has sparked widespread discussion within the industry, with some believing it could be a new approach to improving the quality of the platform, while others worry it may affect the platform's accessibility.

With the implementation of this new policy, the social media industry may undergo a significant transformation. It not only concerns the business model of the platform itself but will also have a profound impact on the entire internet ecosystem. We will continue to monitor the implementation of this policy and its effects.
