Billionaire businessman on a huge budget of $44 billion Elon MuskTwitter, which is dominated by , continues to do “stupid” things, as Elon Musk put it. The latest developments are those that came into our lives a few days ago and were removed within hours.gray teakIt shows that ‘ is back.

In Twitter statements, it is now next to the blue check mark in the bills. ‘gray tick’ badge was also mentioned. Government, company, politician, influencer etc. It was said that real accounts could be distinguished from Twitter Blue’s blue tick, with the feature that will come to the prominent verified accounts. The controversial feature was first released and then removed. Now is has been reactivated.

It shows up on some accounts, not others!

In our checks, gray ticks on Twitter not activated for all accounts We see. Because the New York Times account, which is a verified account, has a gray check. However, if we look at our own account as Webtekno, or at many ‘approved’ accounts around the world, there is no such badge. The reason for this it’s not clear.

‘Twitter will do a lot of stupid things in the coming months’

Musk said in a post he posted from his own account, after first publishing and then removing the gray check, that Twitter will be on the rise in the coming months. ‘stupid’ He said he would keep doing things, and that they would keep the things that worked and replace the things that didn’t:Keep in mind that Twitter will be doing a lot of stupid things in the coming months. We love what workswe will replace the ones that don’t work”

This is how gray teak was originally announced:

“Many people have been asking how to distinguish between Twitter Blue subscribers with a blue check and officially verified accounts, so we’re introducing the ‘Official’ hashtag for selected accounts when we launch the app.”

“Not all previously verified accounts will receive the ‘Official’ tag and tags cannot be purchased. Debtors include government accounts, commercial companies, business partners, major media outlets, broadcasters and some public figures.”

“The new Twitter Blue does not include authentication. The service is an optional paid subscription with a blue check mark and access to certain features. We will continue to experiment with ways to differentiate between account types.”

The turmoil on Twitter helped the competitors: Tumblr will sell blue ticks with a one-time payment of $7.99!

The crap on Twitter, especially from your competitors it works for you. So much so that the forgotten Tumblr started hosting famous names like Ryan Reynolds and Lynda Carter after Twitter switched to Elon Musk. However, from tumblr A remarkable move came.

Tumblr did not offer user authentication until now. On the last point, this situation has changed. users, do it once They can purchase a verified account badge with a $7.99 payment. In this case, Tumblr is a few steps ahead of Twitter. Because users on Twitter instead of monthly payment They pay once.

So why does Twitter need a gray check mark?

The new gray tick badge will differentiate between those who actually donated money to Twitter and switched to a verified account, and today’s “real” verified accounts. Because the blue checkmark is now the one paying Twitter by anyone for each account can be bought. This badge now only shows that a user has paid Twitter.

The gray tick badge has the same requirements as the current accounts with blue ticks. These accounts real accounts verified with documents and it will only be in important people and organizations.

But there are also some risks:

The gray check is not given to all users who have a blue check today. Things are mixed up here too. Anyone who gives money to Twitter An impersonating account can be approved with a blue check mark. At the same time, The account that really belongs to this person will also receive a blue tick confirmation. Therefore, users will now have a harder time distinguishing between real and fake accounts.
