Even then it wasn't a reliable mark of authenticity as Twitter would often remove verification from authentic accounts as a form of punishment.

  I hadn't heard about this, was it common? Who were some accounts that were unverified?

      This example (because of the underlying rule change) explains why this has been such a focus of the right wing and of Elon. I never really cared about that mark and didn’t understand the focus on it. Literally one of the first things they changed after the takeover.
