25 Everyone's laughing at these people who paid $8/mo for a blue checkmark, including Elon Musk, himself (media.scored.co) posted 2 years ago by user20461 2 years ago by user20461 +26 / -1 7 comments share 7 comments share save hide report block hide replies
The biggest problem with the new system is that now it's not obvious who is a human and who is a journalist.
Truth in your words.

I can't believe Twitter was allowed to claim they're a platform while they were handing out verified account status to their friends. At least now it's basically "hope you got :8bux:"
The checkmark actually comes with interface and filtering features, so its not just a meaningless status symbol.
It's definitely not worth $8/mo though.
What is the story here?
