Uh, the blue checkmark used to mean they'd submitted ID and other docs, mate. It meant a great deal pre-acquisition.
- prepend 4y agoAgain, to normal people it meant nothing. To people who tweeted a lot and were into twitter (ie “twitter people”) it was important, but not in the real world. For the vast majority of people who just read twitter, it meant nothing.
- hammyhavoc 4y agoUh, 450m people used Twitter monthly in 2022, that makes Twitter fairly "normal". What makes Twitter not the "real world"? It's a direct reflection of real events. Such a weird take. So if there's two accounts claiming to be a game publisher, and they both have the same amount of followers, and one rips off the tweets of the other, using a script, can you at least concur that the blue check was useful and meaningful as it meant someone had verified their identity through documentation to Twitter?
