I think that's doubling down on - or exploiting - the prior wrong-headed view of verification on Twitter. If he was implementing a one time fee to cover the cost of authenticating your identity, or a token fee every 3-6 months as a deadman switch to de-verify zombie accounts, I think that would be fair. But it shouldn't be a moneymaker in its own right, because verification should be to protect everyone else from imposters as much as it is for yourself.
Nah, not anymore. They've removed the blue checkmarks from ppl who were the actual ppl themselves, saying that it gave them some sort of validation as if twitter endorsed them
The "they" you're referring to are the previous woke management - the ones Musk just fired. I'm saying Musk should treat verification as verification, rather than what the wokes interpreted it as.
