Paying $20 for Twitter's account verification?

[Heatman]

They do have different criteria for businesses and government stuff:

About profile labels

help.twitter.com

The new subscription model social media influencers, and who really cares what they have to say?

It's all a garbage upgrade as far as I'm concerned.

The blue checkmark was meaningless shit to begin with, so I don’t get why people are so butthurt over this.

Outside of buisiness stuff, it was really just bragging rights.

I completely agree with you on this!! It's not worth the money.

Some get it for bragging rights too. It kind of make you look different on Twitter.

When everyone can pay for the verification, even if they are shitty people on Twitter, what value does that hold for the verification except for adding more money to Elon Musk's account?

I think Twitter has change the verification policy, so not everyone can be verified. I read on https://techreport.com/software/3486433/twitter-extends-account-verification-period/ that new users need to wait 90 days before they can verify their account.

Many regular users may more likely trust a username with a verified logo even if people paid for the blue check mark.

They can take their blue tick and shove it up their...you know the rest.

They do so to support the Twitter community. What other way do Elon get to make his money?

He's more than a billionnaire. Does he need more money?

I don't think money is ever enough for any sane human. We always want more.

He should become a philanthropist. He's had enough money for the richest man in the world.

He might be doing his part in terms of philanthropy without making big noise about it.

He's the kind of person that can't keep quiet about anything he does.

That's true. Ok, the bitter truth is that we can't tell him how he is going to spend his money.

I'm telling him how to spend his money. He should help the poor. He's not mad lol.

Nope as I don't use Twitter and if I did I wouldn't pay that to have my account verified, just a waste of money.

Wow! You don't use Twitter. Why is that? Which other social media sites do you use?

 

[Ja sa bong]

I'm not making Elon Musk $8 richer paying for that nonsense. I don't have any need for it and I never will.

It seems like a very pricey proposition from X. It's true that the verification can lend you lots of credibility but $20/month seems very steep for many users.
