Current Events > Celebs cry on Twitter as they lose their blue check marks

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's a proven fact that people who spew one-liner insults without elaborating have extremely low IQs.

Crazy. I heard the same thing about people who are stubborn and refuse to read.

You said it was bullshit that people live and die by it. Clearly Elon and all his little fanboys think Twitter is extremely important, and honestly they are right.

I don't want to hear fucking shit about reading comprehension when people keep screaming "Smug liberal celebrities can afford it and no one gives a shit about their opinions anyway!" when it's been explained over and over that the situation is bigger than that.

Twitter has been one of the biggest websites on the planet for years. The invention and improvement of the Internet made news and other information spread quickly, but Twitter has made it instantaneous. The blue checkmark allowed anyone with relevance, not just actors who annoy you with woke, to formally verify their identity so you knew the information coming from them was legitimate. That no longer exists. Now, the new Twitter Blue checkmark just means you paid for Twitter. Anyone can get a checkmark and they can claim to be whoever they want.

The issue has nothing to do with $84 being too expensive for rich celebrities, or their opinions mattering. Again, the site is one of the biggest in the world and those like you are still pretending it's nothing more than some Hollywood hugbox. Apparently anything can be ruined for no reason as long as celebrities you don't like are among the affected. Who cares if that information on a death or natural disaster response is bogus? C-list actors are triggered, so that's a win!

Do you have any proof for this claim?

They just gotta pay the $8 like everyone else now

Twitter used to get content from celebrities for free. It's now asking celebrities, journalists, and government officials to pay for the status symbol now primarily held by crypto scanners and people with strongly held views on something they call "Western Civilization." It has marketed this product as a way to make the liberal elites cry.

Is it any wonder the notable people are skeptical of the value of aligning themselves with this effort?

Are you purposely ignoring the fact that paying for the entire year in advance comes with a $1 per month discount ?

Did not expect to see a topic where a person who made their account in 2002 claims they made their account before a person (who also made their account in 2002) was born.

What does LeoRavus write, Guy Fieri fetish porn spec scripts?

In June 2009, after being criticized by Kanye West and sued by Tony La Russa over unauthorized accounts run by impersonators, the company launched their "Verified Accounts" program.[11][12] Twitter stated that an account with a "blue tick" verification badge indicates "we've been in contact with the person or entity the account is representing and verified that it is approved".[13]

Keep in mind the blue check mark verification system was created in response to a lawsuit.

I can see why you're no longer a mod.

Oh no, celebs have to pay just like any other regular person! Trash entitled hollywood actors, rhey better get gal gadot sing another lennon song

Literally all they have to do is post a video saying this is my Twitter and pin the tweet if theyre too cheap to pay $8. Lmao.

Heres all the fucks I give about celebrities whining:

Also, parody accounts are allowed on Twitter if they're clearly labeled as such in the way required under the rules.

If these celebs or whoever is maintaining their accounts are too lazy to report parody accounts that don't follow the rules, that's on their lazy asses.

It's not that hard to just follow the rules.

really hope there's like a class action lawsuit against twitter by all these people and organizations who are being falsely represented on the website now.

Over 250+ fucking posts and people are still pretending Twitter verification was just some attention grab for fucking actors. That has to be news to all the other people and organizations that had (free) verification so that everyone knew the information coming from them was official and authentic. "Everyone should be able to buy a checkmark!" is missing the fucking point. Actors were like the least important people who were verified. And Joe Everyman with 27 followers doesn't need verification. No one is going to impersonate his 50 character NFL hot takes.

Asking why everyone shouldn't have verificaiton is like crying about how unfair it is that everyone doesn't get a security detail when they go out in public.

It's not that hard to just follow the rules.

Yes, we get it. Journalists you've never heard of got the blue checkmark. No one cares.
