NY Times won't pay $8 for Twitter Blue subscription, loses old badge

The New York Times has lost its Twitter verified badge, after attracting the ire of billionaire owner Elon Musk over its refusal to pay for the privilege.

The main account of The New York Times, which has about 55 million followers, no longer bears a verification check mark, though several of its subsection accounts remain verified.

It's was $1k for them. They did not qualify for the $8 one.

Don't see organisations paying $1k per month tbh.
