Most Followed Athlete, Cristiano Ronaldo Loses Twitter Blue Tick

Despite being the most followed athlete on Twitter, Cristiano Ronaldo loses the blue tick.

One of the most well-known players in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo, has had his blue Twitter tick removed as a result of Elon Musk's most recent updates to the social networking site.

In October, the internet magnate paid $44 billion to acquire Twitter, and he made it obvious that he wanted to modify the way the platform operated.

The launch of Twitter Blue, a paid service, was one of the most important adjustments made by Musk.

Users of this service get a variety of additional benefits, such as verification, which is generally shown by a blue tick. However, the new system has increased the monthly fee for verification to $8.

Many prominent sportsmen and celebrities, including Ronaldo, have lost their blue ticks as a consequence of this adjustment.

 There is no indication that Ronaldo will be reapplying, and his profile does not have a blue tick.

The business is able to make more money by giving consumers the opportunity to pay for other services, and that extra money might be utilized to develop the platform. 

It's been gathered that the new verification mechanism could be able to deal with some of Twitter's recurring problems with false accounts and online abuse.

The long-term viability of Twitter Blue is still up in the air, however. Others may be scared off by the concept of having to pay for something that was previously free, even if some users may be eager to pay for additional capabilities.

A greater gulf between those who can afford to pay for additional services and those who cannot might result from the implementation of a subscription-based service.

For the time being, Ronaldo's Twitter account's loss of the blue tick serves as a sharp reminder of the platform's changes.
