Is Twitter a Pay for Play?

Twitter is making verified, it seems like the first tab. So most people will just see notifications from verified users if they are verified. The verification is like, you have a credit card, right? But it doesn't say anything, right? And so it doesn't, there isn't verification. It's basically turning Twitter into pay for play. That you now have to give money or have to be in a case where you can give money to be able to see for your tweets to be seen.
