Ultimately, they need to monetize.

This is just my prediction of how they will do it. And it capitalizes on the same processes as Twitch, YouTube, etc.

You will be able to pay one offs for a tweet you like, like Reddit gold. Or generally buy them a month.

If 100 of Kim K's 75million followers buy her a single month thats over 8 years of bluetick for her.

It will have many many effects, but it would also reduce spam as follower count and blue tick duration become markers of authenticity. And if you spam and your account is blocked you would lose all that funding.
