Could have been more clear on that. Some of the accounts I follow are blue checks. What I meant is blue checks that are using their popularity to critique/support another issue very far afield of why they are a blue check.
Eg. Famous actor advocating for some luxury belief
- donkeybeer 5y agoThen "blue check" is completely incidental to the matter, and the real issue is that it is a very popular person. The same issue would exist for any popular user whether or not their account is blue checked.
- pcmoney 5y agoSure but it very rare for an account with substantial follower numbers not to be a blue check (unless they became prominent during a time when Twitter had suspended the verification program for new blue checks). Blue checks also get recommended as people to follow more which inflates their numbers so it is a feedback cycle. I would wager that a blue check on Twitter is more valuable and monetizable than most 4 yr degrees.
