      <title>Twitter offers new annual plan for subscription service</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30310055/twitter-offers-new-annual-plan-for-subscription-service</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Twitter Inc said on Wednesday it was offering an annual plan for its subscription service called Twitter Blue, which includes its sought-after “verified” badge, at a discount to its monthly price.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can subscribe to the service for an annual price of $84, instead of a monthly subscription price of $8 on the web and $11 on Apple devices.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The discount would be available in countries including United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Japan, New Zealand and Australia, Twitter said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since billionaire Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter for $44 billion last year, he has brought changes to the company including new subscription plans for Twitter Blue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The blue check mark was previously reserved for verified accounts of politicians, famous personalities, journalists and other public figures. But a subscription option, open to anyone prepared to pay, was rolled out last year to help Twitter grow revenue as Musk fights to retain advertisers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Earlier in December, Musk added that Twitter’s Basic blue tick will have half the number of advertisements and the social media platform will offer a higher tier with no advertisements by next year.&lt;/p&gt;
