Who's opinions were pushed to the front due to their clout, yes.

Idk. I guess that's all it took for me to never go on that site.

Nope. What you're describing is what Elon caused. Anyone that forks over money can have a blue checkmark and he changed it so that blue checkmarks show up first.

Before he took over, blue checkmarks didn't have priority over other comments. It was literally just a way to show that the person was who they said they were. So if you saw a celebrity replying to you, but they didn't have that blue checkmark, then you could be sure that they were fake.

Now fake accounts can have that blue checkmark simply by paying a monthly fee. And we've already seen several impersonations on Twitter.
