Twitter really needs to sort out what it means to be "verified", when you're presented with this: https://imgur.com/a/HjOF0gS https://imgur.com/a/HjOF0gS It's so barely different to an actual twitter thread where the same person is saying all three parts.

Verified users shouldn’t be allowed to change their name without approval ideally. Guess it’s just too much work for the company.

Why would they? It would decrease engagement. A significant portion of Twitter is bots and fake profiles/scams and Twitter isn't best known for caring about users or being honest. More engagement (even if from fake profiles) = more ads to show = more money. This would decrease trust in the platform in the long run for sure but they probably think they're too big to fail without a good competition anyway.

    Bots don't. People who get more engagement due to bots do.

I have long suspected that Twitter (or people at Twitter) are colluding with the crypto scammers for a payout.
