Im sure his team was aware before they got fired. Severance for the win.

I guess a 500% increase of the most vile slur in the English language is the barrel of laughs that his groupies were hoping for

Maybe it's Russians accessing twitter through that starlink "backdoor"
It's amazing how people on the far left want to push conspiracy theories and misinformation just as much as the people they despise
What happened to leftists mocking people for leaving twitter in droves?

So verification is going to go from something special that only a handful of people had to something that literally anybody can pay for?
Also, what value is Twitter providing to justify the $20 per month price tag? That's more than any streaming service costs

This is the thing I don't understand at all. The writers who are attached to larger media organizations, celebrities, athletes and musicians don't need the blue check. The only people that would pay for the blue check are pretenders
I like Twitter, I think it's a simple and easy to use platform but if it turns into a hellscape then I will just stop using it.

That's not true. Fake/catfish/parody accounts exist. A fair amount of people are too stupid to notice follower count and sometimes with women/models the fake accounts have more followers than the real ones.
Blue checks came about in part because of Tony La Russa sued twitter over a fake account.
Charging for verification is stupid but it's an easy way to generate money. Maybe the criteria for getting verified won't change but they get to squeeze money out of it.
As of now they can get about 8.5 million a month if all the blue checks paid for the subscription.

Alot of desperate people out there looking to feel special and better than their peers. Same people who buy a base A class Mercedes instead of a fully loaded accord or camry for less

One of the rules of business is that it's hard to get people to pay for something that they've been given for free.
For example, I like Reddit but if they started charging in monthly fee, I would probably leave because I'm used to getting it for free
