19 Funny Fake Twitter Verification Facts
Twitter verification is very much a trending topic right now, with Elon Musk’s plans for charging for the service causing widespread consternation amongst tweeters – including Stephen King.
The blue tick used to mean “I’m the real thing” or “I’m willing to stand by what I say and put my real name to it”, or “I’ve contributed to the discourse” or “I’m probably worth paying attention to”.
Soon it’ll mean nothing except “I’m kissing Elon’s balls”.
