that's saying the same thing.
I've seen countless people with the checkmark who are of zero importance or celebrity status. They just knew the right people or knew people that knew the right people.
He’s trying to reduce headcount by any means. Every other industry should thank him for putting fully qualified engineers into the market, letting them put their talent to work at everything there is — except Twitter.
Absolutely. I particularly love the “we are all a big family” rhetoric. Then when it’s time to layoff you realize that they see it more a family a-la Game of Thrones…
Famous individuals will get to another tier. For $100/month and exclusive validation process. You’ll see.
That might be a good solution. Gold checks! It would stroke the ego of blue checks and $100 a month is pocket change for them. He could make it $1000 a month and that really wouldn't be a problem for those people.
Not yet, but EU's Digital Market Act will enter into force tomorrow on November 1st, 2022, and we know Elon Musk will make use of it for InApp. The days of gatekeeping are soon over.
Nope. There’s still plenty of headroom for more Nazis, “Sandy Hook is a gummint hoax” types, and Putin-bots.
that will be the Platinum tier. All that blue, gold check marks get, but they also get 5 minutes to edit a post.
I keep reading on MR forum how people have a problem with the cost streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+, HBO, etc cost. Granted one can binge, rinse and repeat. I am more interested in how Twitter will handle binge blue checks and you bring up a valid concern of anyone can now be a blue check for payment, I am more curious about the implementation than perceived club membership.
Just a degree? That's a lot of people and not all of them are intelligent so if you're trying to use this as a method of thinking the information is better that's probably not good. Maybe if they have a doctorate degree but even then that only means they know the specific thing they learned. Someone with a doctorate degree in geology wouldn't know anything about economics. Maybe they need a specific color for each topic 🤣
I understand what you're saying but paid vs free is still a good differentiator. Here's an example.... If every outgoing phone call cost just $0.05, how many fewer spam calls would we receive? I'd venture to guess it would start approaching "none".
yep the richest main the world is a "stupid business man for not doing something your way. This is exactly why Twitter is a cesspool now and has been for few years.
An alternate meaning and symbol for the rainbow now on Twitter verified. 😝
It could show the field of expertise once you hover over it. I do not think that people with a degree are generally smarter, but I hate that we live in a society that makes dumb and annoying people famous. How did the Kardashians become billionaires and get tons of followers, while smart scientists who change the world are mostly unknown?
That also depends on the risk and reward ratio. If I make numerous calls at $0.05 cents and I can scam one out of hundreds the reward is greater than the risk.
