Twitter wants to extract money from companies on the platform by charging them $1000 per month maintain its gold marks, according to a report by The information.
Companies that don’t pay the $1,000 a month fee will lose their gold badges, although it’s not clear when that will happen.
Also, Twitter is trying to add an extra 50 dollars a month to add badges to each account affiliated with the company.
Twitter rolled out the gold badges ahead of its Verified for Organizations (formerly Blue for Business) program, which allows companies to “verify and differentiate themselves on Twitter.”
It also allows companies to add badges that display miniature versions of their Twitter profile pictures to the accounts of employees, executives and anyone else associated with the brand.
