Bullshit, that’s Twitter’s current lords & peasants mechanism for determining who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark.
People power, indeed!
$8/month for Blue.
Price varying per nation according to purchasing power parity
Additionally, you will receive: –
– Priority in replies, mentions & search, which is essential to defeat spam/scam
– Ability to post long video & audio
– Half as many ads
Moreover, publications willing to cooperate with us can bypass paywalls.
