I guess I am an outlier in this, but I don't think I have a single "famous" person that I follow - maybe some bigger figures in a niche area, but the people that have the blue mark are not the draw for me.
But when I do search for them, it is convenient to see the blue mark to figure out what might be the account I am looking for.
- dangerboysteve 4y agoI don't follow famous people. Way too much noise. I follow dev and engineering stuff.

- encryptluks2 4y agoI don't think it is convenient. These people have a website or verified profile on Google to already determine which social media profiles belong to them. All the blue checkmark will tell me in the future is these people are dumb enough to pay for snake oil.
