On April 20th, Twitter removed the “Blue Tick” service, which previously was an indicator of the authenticity of an account. In the new regime of Elon Musk, the service is wholly rehauled. Now, instead of denoting the accounts of public figures and individuals connected with the government, the new blue tick will denote customers who are willing to pay the “Twitter Blue” subscription.
After this change was sanctioned and made public, many celebrities and renowned individuals opted to leave the platform for good. Even HBO’s The Last of Us star Bella Ramsey, recently announced his departure, after making her social media return only a few months ago. Following her abrupt leave, fans theorized, the new Twitter Blue policies may be the culprit.

Bella gained worldwide recognition after her powerful performance as the young monarch, Lyanna Mormont in Game of Thrones. But her reputation reached astronomical heights after she was cast for the role of Ellie in the adaptation of Naughty Dog’s magnum opus game, The Last of Us, on HBO Max.
Her performance as the young survivor in a post-apocalyptic, infected-filled world, won the hearts of both loyal fans of the franchise and critics. Due to some online toxicity, Bella once quit social media before. But after the broadcast of The Last of Us season, she made her return, and she was welcomed with loads of positivity.
However, Bella has once again left social media, but this time she has left only Twitter specifically. Which means she will be active everywhere else except Twitter. On April 21, she posted a tweet saying, “Twitter it’s been fun. My account will still be active for now but I will not be on here! Thank you my gay army and all the rest. Love you.” giving her “gay army” on Twitter, the final farewell.
Seeing this post, the fans were heartbroken. While many shared their sorrow for the departure of one of their favorite actors on the platform, some were busy speculating that this was because of the removal of the Twitter “blue tick” feature.
How did the fans react?
“It’s crazy how celebrities going crazy over the blue tick. I want to talk to a celebrity who actually gives me a good point about why the huss over the tick.” said a fan and the train of fans posting love and speculation continued in the comments…
