I would have expected Meta to have learned by Elons mistakes but I was just asked if I want to subscribe for a blue tick to verify my account to make my followers feelnsafer (sopuli.xyz)

Am I reading that right? It will cost an extra $4 to register the check mark on mobile devices compared to desktop?

Does that mean you only get the benefits on mobile if you pay the extra $ or does it mean you can pay either way but charging on mobile has a $4 convenience fee?

It covers Apple/Google tax. They didn't want to have lower revenue on mobile or go the Spotify route.

I was also surprised that you will need to verify all your accounts. If you run 3 social media accounts across Instagram or Facebook, you can buy a blue tick for each, even though you run them all from your (maybe) verified account
