Twitter Blue accounts are a godamn blight.

Yeah, Twitter Blue accounts have been advertised on forums that sell social media accounts since the day it's announced

Here are some examples:

• 5-11 year old accounts for $19
• Twitter blue accounts with 1K to 50K followers ranging from $100 to $180

I've even seen services where someone in Indonesia offers to pay the Blue subscription monthly for the buyers with some markups

Why not just subscribe to them yourself? Some reasons I could think of:

1. You reside in regions where twitter blue is not available, or sanctioned regions.
2. You don't want it to be traced back to you easily, considering many of the buyers are getting them for crypto scams / disinformations, or even state sponsored
3. You want aged accounts with fake followers and contents. Although I've seen some sellers offering barebone accounts, probably for those who can't buy blue subscription in their countries.

I feel like Putin's getting some real value out of Twitter Blue.
