In my opinion it's dangerous to make verification too easy. Right now verification means, approximately, "this is somebody". Make verification too easy and it becomes "this person pays for Twitter" which is probably the opposite of what you want. I would say - keep verification as exclusive as it is, or slightly less, and charge for it is optimal.

- ryanbrunner 4y ago"This is who they say they are" has been pretty reliably implemented in a ton of contexts, can largely be automated, and isn't really novel in any way. Twitter's blue checkmark is more "this person is notable", which is a different thing and maybe valuable, although I think makes the blue checkmark probably a constant source of frustration for twitter.
