    I mean this is already unsurprising given how easy it was to get a blue checkmark as a journalist back when it was Twitter.

    Literally any media corporation could get it for any of their employees. But for anyone else, you had to pay thousands to get a middleman who had a contact at twitter to verify you. It was such a weird system.
