I thought it was supposed to make you verified, popular, respected and stuff? That's how its supposed to work, until an egotistical moron like Musk came along and wrecked it for everyone. A verification check was supposed to be assurance that someone is 1) a VIP and 2) is who they say they are. Then Musk came along and was like "nope, anybody can be verified as long as they pay a subscription fee" and suddenly you got a ton of accounts claiming to be people or corporations that they weren't. Now the check is a mark of shame, as everyone who desires to be "verified" is 1) just a troll looking for attention, 2) is a Musk sycophant, or 3) an idiot with their money. --- THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Do not write in this space. <cite>HylianFox posted [p:975207965] in People who...
