    X notifies advertisers to spend $1,000 per month or risk losing verification status

    Amid its rebranding to X, Twitter is reportedly hard balling advertisers in an effort to increase its bottom line. Reports earlier this month suggested that Twitter’s revenue had dropped by a staggering 50 percent.

    While the $1,000 monthly rate is unlikely to be an issue for larger brands, the new change could hurt smaller businesses that don’t want to or don’t have the extra budget to commit.
