I was surprised they didn’t roll this out from the jump, I bet they could have gotten a lot more accounts to do it on the dl. But now everyone is pot committed to blue checks being cringe or not.

You know your paid model is going well when you feel the need to give people the option to hide the fact they’re paying.

Why the hell would anyone buy twitter blue if they wanted to hide their checks, the stupidity of Elon lmao.

I like how Elon X is destroying (t)his company. He does it in the probably most embarassing way possible, ditching his own credibility. Nice!

Whats hilarious is none of the news outlets are calling it X. Everyone is still calling it Twitter.

I bet Elon is raging 🤣

The only reason I still go to Twitter is to mock people for giving a billionaire a monthly fee to use a free website.

So they can hide their stupidity?

[-] Mesaji@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I can't figure out why he wants users to hide it??

[-] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

Because people who have it were mocked and then cried to Elon about it
