X will no longer allow users to hide their blue marks
X has announced an important change to its blue flag policy. According to the new policy, users, regardless of whether they have X Premium, will no longer be able to hide blue marks.
Here's What We Know
This means that all subscribers will have this mark highlighted in their profile.
The change in the company's policy came after X began to actively check "influential" users who did not subscribe to X Premium. Now, users with a large audience but no subscription will be marked with blue marks that will be displayed on their profiles.
This change is intended to encourage more premium users and increase the company's revenue, but it has also caused a wave of negative reactions among users who do not want to associate themselves with paid content because of the blue mark on their profiles.
