Meanwhile, Twitter is also imposing daily limits on how many direct messages unverified accounts can send. The company stated that users without a verified badge or a Twitter Blue membership would be impacted by the changes starting on Friday.
The firm did not specify the precise DM cap, but made it clear that users who wish to send an unlimited number of DMs must subscribe to Twitter Blue, a premium service that costs Rs 900 a month in India and comes with a number of features and benefits.
Elon Musk has recently asked Twitter users to upgrade to verified subscribers status, promising them a monthly income of hundreds of dollars from ad revenue sharing.
He urged them to sign up for Twitter Blue, a premium membership, without clarifying how they could do this without registering 5 million monthly impressions and having more than 10,000 followers—the two essential requirements for earning money via ad revenue sharing on Twitter.
