This has a neat side effect though - people who pay for attention usually have nothing interesting to say, so it becomes a good filter of what to ignore.

- pjc50 2y agoMaking the blue tick into a marker of "paid to be promoted, I have nothing to say" was another instantly backfiring decision.
- rsynnott 2y agoOf all the stupid Twitter design decisions new management has made, that's the one that baffles me most, because _everyone knows that pay-for-attention doesn't work_ as a dynamic. Social media has known this doesn't work since more or less before social media existed, because _dating sites_ have been trying to make it work, with very limited success, for 25 years now.
