"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 😂
Good. It should never have been valued
Don’t need the blue checkmark to know who the tools are, there’s a whole shed full of them and 𝕏 marks the spot.
That was a good one.
Can this not be easily used for money laundering? Use a ton of bot accounts to buy blue ✔️?
Forgive me if I don't know how money laundering works, but how do you get the money back out of Twitter in this scenario?
Make a botnet that uses money to be laundered to purchase twit blue 1x each, then hide checkmark status so a difference can't be seen.
Harvest money through Twitter profit
Next stop: Buy Twitter blue hide functionality for the low price of 5 dollar per month...
Another genius move from business genius.
That's great news
I see that as a win, the blue check mark had become a source of elitism and snobbery that wasn't given out for consistent reasons.
