Being verified on Twitter meant you were somebody. like an actor/actress, musician, journalist, singer, politician, etc. It's status and prestige...that blue check...
When everybody has it, it becomes meaningless.

I mean doesn't it still? I feel like the majority of blue check marks were legit and there were a few outliers. I don't think this payment method is gonna keep the fake blue check marks from having a check mark but what it can do is keep struggling actors/musicians/journalist from not being able to pay that fee.

Thank you and I am glad. Now these ignorant famous b*stards who tweet and retweet shyt can't automatically get their dumb ass comments trending cause they got a blue check.

People will pay
especially if blue checks can only be dmed by other blue checks
see black Amex linkedin premium etc
certainly some will, no way all of them will tho and some of them will leave the platform.

we'll see if it's enough to make a difference :patrice:
