Never a boring minute in Twitterland.
As if the saga with blue and mother in-law sex videosgrey checkmarks wasn't enough — TL;DR both checkmarks are in play right now — Twitter appears to have made its Twitter Blue subscription unavailable.
The option, previously available in the sidebar for iOS users, now isn't showing (folks on Android need not bother, as Twitter Blue never launched there in the first place). The Verge noticed reports from users saying the feature is not available for them, and hacker Jane Manchun Wong said the feature appears to have been "unlaunched."

The sudden disappearance of the new, $8 Twitter Blue, which was launched earlier this week, could be an error of some sort or a temporary pullback while Twitter sorts issues out. But it's another example of just how chaotic things are at Twitter, where features are being introduced then pulled in the matter of days if not hours.
