“Twitter Blue subscribers can now hide their checkmarks”

Elon managed to take the once-coveted blue check and turned it into something that’s embarrassing enough to warrant wanting to hide it 😂

    They probably still get the engagement boost by putting their replies at the top. This is insidious. I’ve been blocking most blue checks but this might make Twitter unusable.

      Ah, so like nazis can pay for blue, get their shit at the top of the feed, and then Twitter can pretend that this is just a naturally popular opinion and nobody can prove that they’re pushing nazi opinions for money?

      It all makes sense now!

      For me it was already unusable. The Canadian trending page is always full of right wing conspiracy and most posts have some sort of hate speech comments.
