"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 😂
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.
Not anymore, the city had them take it down.
So they're effectively paying for nothing now if they hide the blue check mark right?
They probably still get the engagement boost by putting their replies at the top. This is insidious. I've been blocking most blue checks but this might make Twitter unusable.
Ah, so like nazis can pay for blue, get their shit at the top of the feed, and then Twitter can pretend that this is just a naturally popular opinion and nobody can prove that they're pushing nazi opinions for money?
It all makes sense now!
this is the straw that breaks the camel's back, eh?
No, they also get higher limits, if I understand correctly. Longer messages and videos, more DMs, looking at more posts, etc.
Those are paid features?
Jesus Christ.
paid accounts get their posts ranked higher (supposedly)
Ah right, I forgot about those new features but it seemed liked the initial benefit was just the blue check mark
In other news, Tesla is now selling Toyota Camry body conversion kits for the Model S.
Fuck me, I wish
I love the idea that they’d charge extra for hiding!
You know the saying a fool and his money
Remember when Bethesda introduced Fallout 1st into Fallout 76 and everybody started griefing subscribers in-game for actually paying Bethesda for a shitty service?
We've just seen the social equivalent of that.
So you just follow Twitter's example and stop paying for it.
Good. It should never have been valued
Isn't this self-defeating though? They'll still get their replies/tweets prioritized so it will be obvious still who has a check mark. Making fun of people who pay for that shit is going to increase if anything because now they have an option to let the world know they're embarrassed.
Another genius move from business genius.
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?
Why are you musk obsessed that you even made a community for him
Not OP, but I'm pissed that I lost a platform that had utility to me because some random billionaire made a weed joke.
Block the community if you don't want to see it.
I'd understand complaining about musk posts bombarding a more general community, but this one did you the favor of putting a bunch in one place for you to ignore.
"Why do you care what the richest man in the world is doing with the most popular social media platform?"
Listen to yourself.
Next stop: Buy Twitter blue hide functionality for the low price of 5 dollar per month...
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.
