Users of social network X (formerly Twitter) will receive advertising revenue if they have a paid blue tick subscription.

Otherwise, the income from this source will go into the pocket of operating company X.
Billionaire Elon Musk, owner and CEO of X, made an official announcement on August 5 regarding the issue of legal advertising revenue for X users. Mr. Musk affirmed that the above regulation is effective for all users.
After completing the Twitter acquisition and quickly taking control of the social media company, Musk quickly reorganized Twitter, which was recently renamed X. In March, Twitter released an improved version of Twitter Blue that allows any user to buy a blue checkmark and get priority visibility on the platform. They will see fewer ads, write tweets up to 4,000 characters long, edit and undo posts, bookmark folders, and customize their navigation bar.
Users can buy blue ticks through the website or through iOS and Android devices. However, prices on the App Store will be higher than on the web because Twitter passes the 30% fee per transaction — which Apple and Google impose on apps — onto users.
In the US, the fee is $8 per month or $84 per year if you sign up via the web, and $11 and $114.99 per year if you buy via mobile.
Since April, X has started to fulfill its promise to remove the blue ticks of accounts that do not pay a monthly fee to maintain them.
