Twitter's Troubles: Musk's Recommendations, Subscriptions, and Secret Boosts.
TL;DR Summary
Elon Musk announced that non-verified users' tweets will be visible on Twitter's recommendations feed, after facing backlash for his initial announcement that the feed will only be available for verified users subscribed to Twitter Blue. The changes will be made on April 15, and Musk stated that the move is to address advanced AI bot swarms taking over. Twitter will also begin phasing out its old verification system on April 1 and start removing "legacy" verified blue checks from users who aren't paying for them.
