Re: What's going on with twitter?

In addition to the lolwtf mentioned below, the last couple of days have been particularly disastrous and stupid because:

You know those blue checkmarks by people's names, to prove they're "verified" as the person they actually claim to be? This has been used in the past for politicians, celebrities, official brand accounts. Stuff like that.

Well, Musky thought he could make Twitter profitable by charging $20 a month for blue checkmarks which would boost visibility in the algorithm and so on. "To reduce scams and trolls." Notable blue-checked people (most famously Stephen King) were like "uh, no, I'm not paying $20 for something like that." (To Stephen King, Musk replied like "How does $8 sound?" Seriously. Lol.)

So he rolled this out anyway, charging $8 a month. Immediately, the trolls and the scams TOOK OVER blue-check Twitter. A fake Nintendo account with a blue check is posting obscenity and just bad taste stuff, the real Nintendo account with a blue check is being overwhelmed by complaints. A pharmaceutical company just had to put out a statement that their real Twitter account is X, and that account Y that just tweeted they're now making insulin free to everyone is an imposter. (Unfortunately.) We have "George W. Bush" and "Tony Blair" gleefully reminiscing about how much fun it was to kill Iraqis, both with blue checks.

And this is just a SMALL PORTION of the confusion that has ensued in the less than 48 hours that people could pay for blue checks. Brands are furious, ad buyers are fleeing, apparently what was left of Twitter's legal team also was like "yeah no, I can't defend this" and quit from what I last heard.

...meanwhile, dudebros are betting on Twitter becoming the next dudebro website and purchasing those blue checkmarks like they would purchase NFTs (ie. barely because they're only stupid enough to try to convince others) and while Nintendo's account burns, Atlus West decided to acknowledge their now-verified impersonator, cuz what really matters is what you do with the lemons.

Hahah yes, the Atlus West thing amused me. XD

I am just so amused that as soon as Musk announced this plan to "reduce scams and trolls" I called it. "Blue check Twitter is soon to be 90% scams and trolls, they're the only ones who will think it's worth the investment."

Gotta love dudebrows. Always rising to the occasion to show how utterly stupid they are.
