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.
- bmarquez 3y agoBlue 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.

- babypuncher 3y agoBots ponying up for the gold checkmark. Man what a disaster Twitter has turned into.

- tracker1 3y agoMain 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.
