I’d think that once you’re at the level where you not only stick around in the dumpster fire, but also willingly give your money to this manchild, you lack the awareness needed to see how bad a blue checkmark looks on you anyway.
EDIT: I have been informed that some get the blue checkmark against their will and without paying. Just when you thought xitter couldn’t get dumber…
Iirc just recently they started giving out blue ticks to people with lots of followers, regardless of if they wanted it. Then this week they make it so you can’t hide them. It seems like a dim move - piss off the people who bring lots of traffic to your website, but actively decided to not get a blue tick, by forcing the tick on them.
If they didn’t leave beforehand, maybe this would make some people/orgs consider leaving?He’s been forcing blue checks on people since the initial change - with Stephen King, for instance. Basically a way to promote the program and make it look like prominent people are paying, but also a confused mix with the previous verification checks.
It really does seem like he’s -trying- to kill it
Only other twitter users see the blue checkmark. The people who think it’s dumb aren’t around.
Wear your shame! lol
The online equivalent of a dunce cap.
Okay… 🙃
I don’t get it, what’s so bad about blue checkmarks? I know you can “buy” them now, but what of it?
Some beans were hiding it to avoid being scrutinized for paying into Elons platform.but still wanted to have their name, pretty much marketing and loosing money.
I think ppl with blue check shitting on elon and twitter were being called out for paying and supporting him.
People (rightfully) shitting on Elon were forcefully given blue checkmarks and now they can’t hide that mark so that it looks hypocritical.
They were being called 8 buck schmucks.
