What is a ‘blue tick’ and what does it mean if you get one? This week we discussed the ins and outs of the new ‘paid for verification badge’ that Meta are offering Instagram users. We chat about how much does it cost, how can you get a discount, and what the benefits for artists - if any - actually are. We share feedback from those who got a blue tick prior to the paid version plus from a few artists who’ve already signed up for the paid version. As always we discuss our thoughts on the matter and our own fails with getting the elusive blue tick… Mentioned:Eckhart TolleThe Convent in Auckland Meta Instagram verification link Contributors:@loveludie@HannahJensenArt @Anastasiaparmson.artQuotes from:Should you pay Zuckerberg or Musk for a blue tick?
