    FYI: Blue checkmarks were a thing LONG before paying for blue checkmarks was a thing. In the end, I think most people who are making an issue out of this aren’t even twitter users (let alone checkmark users) themselves.

      Yeah, but that was before PG changed what they meant and allowed fake verified users to damage real companies stock value (which I find funny AF), rendering the blue check meaningless and basically tuned it into a scarlet letter.
