Elon Musk has completed his takeover of Twitter and one of the new changes he's proposed is $8/mo for the Twitter blue tick.
Do you think this move is justified? Let me know!

I think he should have charged more. Twitter's got several spammy accounts verified because you could get your account verified through your internal connects.
Elon will also ensure that there is a proper account verification policy in place.

Who's going to pay for getting spams and hate messages?

Mayur - looks like people are already paying $8 happily just for the sake of blue tick. I know someone who's paying Rs. 800/month just to appear authentic with their tweets.
Looks like Twitter and Elon Musk got the pricing right. Now Meta is also following the same path with Instagram.

Can an engineer become a doctor? If you got forced into studying engineering and want to go back to your first love - medicine (MBBS), what are your options? Let's discuss.
Yes, an engineer can become a doctor. But it won't be easy. Engineering degrees worldwide are mostly 4-year degree courses and medicine too requires an average of 4-5 years followed by mandatory internship. Not everyone has the patience, money and time to dedicate a decade only to learning.
