Considering Twitter Blue isn't ad-free, not that surprised. I'd rather have ad-free paid option than what I get currently with Blue.

  What even is the point of Blue? We already know that the "verification" it provides is functionally worthless. These days it seems like anyone with a blue checkmark is just asking to get made fun of.

    Blue seems to be a "less likely to be a bot" badge. Considering that I've seen ChatGPT-type comments in various subreddits, I expect paid social media like Twitter Blue, Reddit Premium and Discord Nitro being pushed even more in the future.

        Bots ponying up for the gold checkmark. Man what a disaster Twitter has turned into.

    Longer tweets + edit button seem like decent features for power users though not for the average lurker. Yet it seems like half of the reply guys have the blue badge.

    Main thing is supporting the platform. Second is the longer posts without having to do split threads. I think the "edit" implementation and the delayed posting is very broken to say the least. As to making fun of someone willing to pay to support a given system, I'm not sure that's at all productive. At that point, should probably not even be using said system in the first place. That doesn't mean I agree with every decision, or every direction, but do find it's a bit better than before overall.
