>>47897098To add on what the other anons said, the blue checkmark used to be a good boon because it would help verify that you are who you claim you are (using FeFe as an example, having ye olde blue checkmark attached to @covfefeChan meant that was her certified real account, whereas @covefefeChanReal not having a blue checkmark helped show it was a fake account). Now, blue checkmarks just mean you have an $8 subscription to Twitter, and thus both @CovfefeChan and @covfefeChanReal can have one and impersonations are much easier.
Gold checkmarks are arguably more safe in that they cost $1,000 a month, though exclusive to businesses. Likely to prevent the hilarious impersonation boom shortly after Elon took over and introduced the blue checkmark subscription.
