Twitter Blue followers now get priority ranking in conversations

The new Twitter Blue subscription service is constantly adding new features, and the latest ones have already been promised in the past. We’re talking about prioritizing tweets from Twitter Blue followers in conversations and allowing them to upload videos up to an hour long.

Longer videos are currently downloadable from the web, and they can be up to 1080p resolution and 2GB file size. Prior to this change, Twitter Blue subscribers could download videos up to ten minutes long at a resolution of 1080p, with a file size limit of 512 MB maximum. For now, this limit still applies if you’re downloading from Twitter’s Android and iOS apps.

When it comes to conversations, Twitter says users will see “a slight preference for replies from Blue verified accounts over other replies.” In short – those with a Blue subscription (or those who were verified using the old system before Elon Musk took over) will have the best answers on any conversation.

Presumably more features will be coming to Twitter Blue in the future, to make it a more attractive proposition for people who decide to spend $8 a month (or $11 if you subscribe from iOS) on the service. Right now, the blue verification badge is undoubtedly still the main draw – we’ll have to wait and see how much longer that can boost Twitter Blue follower numbers.
