That's what gets me about this. Launching a subscription system makes sense, but discontinuing the verification system and repurposing it as a subscription system makes no sense.
- andirk 4y agoAnd I thought we all made fun of "the blue checks" bc it implies they think theyre important.
- imbnwa 4y agoDo you know where it is explicitly stated that there is _no_ verification?
- hackerlight 4y agoThis is a misunderstanding. The public figure verification system isn't being discontinued, it's being shifted over to a secondary tag that says "Public Figure" or something. Like what you see with the "Russia state-affiliated media" tag some people have.
- weinzierl 4y agoExactly, the lords stay lords, the peasants stay peasants and for most of us nothing changes. For the lords it'll get more complicated though because the tag system will signify a transition from a two-class society to a multi-kaste system.
