I don't get it, what's so bad about blue checkmarks? I know you can "buy" them now, but what of it?
Some beans were hiding it to avoid being scrutinized for paying into Elons platform.but still wanted to have their name, pretty much marketing and loosing money.
I think ppl with blue check shitting on elon and twitter were being called out for paying and supporting him.
People (rightfully) shitting on Elon were forcefully given blue checkmarks and now they can’t hide that mark so that it looks hypocritical.
They were being called 8 buck schmucks.
