Blue is the new hue right now in Twitter town and as expected, memes are flowing from all directions. It is indeed a blessing that memes are unlimited and free!
Twitter Blue
Twitter Blue is the subscription service of the company and it was launched in the month of June. With new and exciting features, Twitter Blue is branching out to more places. Initially, during the time of the launch, Twitter Blue was exclusive to Canada and Australia, that too on iOS. However, from Tuesday, the service will be available in New Zealand and the US on both Android and the web.
The most intriguing feature of Twitter Blue that has managed the grab the attention of a good majority of the users is the undo button. It helps the users to recall the tweets before they are sent. With the feature, you can bid goodbye to the typo embarrassments. During the time of the launch, the service boasted a couple of features like reader mode for tweet threads, bookmark folders, and so on. Another feature was also added last month which let users try out new features early.
Tuesday’s expansion brings more good news to Twitter users. For those who use Twitter for exploring and reading news, it will now be possible to access ad-free articles on websites. These sites will also get a part of the Twitter Blue subscription. Famous sites like BuzzFeed, Washington Post, Hollywood Reporter, etc are taking part in the program. The future might also see the addition of sites outside the US. Although Twitter Blue subscription saves you from ads on sites, it doesn’t mean Twitter as such will be free of advertisements.

Very wise decision my friend.
Not paying $2.99 for Twitter Blue to fix typos when half the TL read what they wanna read anyway.
