Yes. It's obviously a silly approach that doesn't stand 5 minutes consideration as a business plan. People went to twitter to be outraged, but some went there because they could follow experts in fields, journalists, scientists, writers. They often had blue checks to verify them. Now, anyone can get a blue check. So the blue check is worthless! It weakens the core value of twitter. Will millions of randos pay twitter $8 a month to get a blue check? Will people who valued blue checks drop twitter? Both of these things reduce the future value of going to twitter. Making blue check a paid cost is like an anti-flywheel plan. Jeff Bezos should have rejected this at the sitdown meeting. When fake Elon Musk and fake Trump and fake Obama start posting on twitter, it won't make people want to go there, will it?
