The majority of Twitter Blue's original subscribers have unsubscribed


According to a recent source, Twitter Blue was able to sign up about 640,000 new customers after CEO Elon Musk unveiled the new subscription plan in November. Only about 68,157 of the roughly 150,000 early Twitter Blue subscribers had persisted through the end of April.

Only 150,000 people signed up for Twitter Blue when it first launched in November, according to internal documents obtained by the Washington Post last year. Musk then disabled new signups after people started impersonating people and brands on the social media platform.

Approximately 81,843 individuals, or 54.5 percent, of Twitter users who first signed up for Twitter Blue are no longer subscribed, according to a research by Mashable. According to a survey conducted by the subscription management company Recurly, the average annual churn rate for subscription-based businesses is only 5.57 percent.


According to a previous Gizmodo story, many former Twitter Blue subscribers were unable to cancel their subscriptions even after failing to make payments for months.

The proportion of Twitter Blue subscribers with few followers has remained largely stable, according to the most recent data from last month on the social media site. This explains why so many Twitter Blue subscribers continue to show up, either as a result of the premium function of algorithm boost on the For You timeline or simply as a result of continuing to receive service features even after cancelling the subscription.

Former Uber security chief is punished for hiding a hack

In lieu of going to jail, Uber's former chief security officer was given three years of probation and ordered to complete community service. In response to hackers gaining access to 57 million records of Uber users, including names and phone numbers, Joseph Sullivan was found guilty of paying them $100,000 (£79,000). In addition, he must perform 200 hours of community service and pay a $50,000 fine. Initially, the prosecution requested a 15-month prison term. Sullivan was also found guilty of impeding a Federal Trade Commission probe. The judge, William Orrick, reportedly told the Wall Street Journal that he was being lenient with Sullivan not just because this was the first instance of its kind but also due to his character. I hope everyone here understands that if there are more, folks should anticipate spending time in detention regardless of anything, he said. THE HACK In 2015, Sullivan started working as Uber's chief security officer. According to t...

Online Safety Bill age checks won’t be done by Wikipedia

According to its foundation, Wikipedia will not submit to any age verifications mandated by the Online Safety Bill. It would "violate our commitment to collect minimal data about readers and contributors," according to Rebecca MacKinnon of the Wikimedia Foundation, which sponsors the website. A senior member of Wikimedia UK is concerned that the website might be blocked as a result. However, according to the government, only services that pose the greatest risk to children will require age verification. There are millions of entries on Wikipedia, created and edited by tens of thousands of volunteers from all over the world in hundreds of different languages. According to information from analytics company SimilarWeb, it is the seventh most popular website in the UK. The Online Safety Bill, which is presently before Parliament, will completely take effect sometime in 2024 and requires digital companies to safeguard users from harmful or illegal informat...
