WallStreetBets says Twitter was selling verifications. They would refuse to verify you, then demand $15,000. (media.kotakuinaction2.win)

Welcome to an example of the 'sunken cost fallacy'. They paid thousands for a little badge under the table to feel like they were part of an exclusive club and are salty when a legitimate guy buys the platform and just goes "Yeah give me $8 and you get the badge".

It's a common phenomenon. You see that with machine gun collectors. They're some of the biggest opponents to repealing the Hughes amendment. If repealed, their $15,000 machine guns would drop to $1,500. They just don't want to see their "investment" disappearing.

The fuck, just looked it up, if they took their stick out their ass and helped repeal it, screw investment you might get more innovation!

More demand usually leads to more competition and that leads to people trying new things to get an edge.

Try "Collectors" of anything.

Most people collect shit because of the $$$ which is a purely 'merchant' thought process and neglects the main point of collection, self satisfaction.
