I do not understand the mindset that leads someone to be envious of checkmarks, of all things. Nobody thought that a checkmark made you notable. It just signaled that person is who they said they were.
There's this swath of people who want to be Notable and just aren't, and they think that painting a checkmark on themselves will fix it.
