The great Elon Snap has come , and mass are here for it .
The day has finally come. Elon Musk’s Twitter has begun purging blue check marks off legacy verified users who don’t pay for the subscription for it.
Now, if you don’t use Twitter and don’t know what that is, essentially — long, long before Elon bought the company — Twitter would give blue checkmarks to celebrities, journalists, companies, notable people, etc., as a way to verify/confirm their account to other Twitter users and let them know that it wasreallythem. The checkmark was also free.
After Elon took over, he looked at ways to make the company more profitable (I am not even going to get into all of it here), and one way was to sell the blue checkmarks — essentially making it so any account can get one. This, of course, made many legacy verified users wonder what type of value there is in paying for a checkmark that anyone can get.
And today, after several threats that he would remove the blue checkmark from non-paying users, the great Elon Snap happened and everyone is losing their verification mark. TBH, Twitter users are actually celebrating this. So, I rounded up some funny tweets about this whole snafu:
Also , be certain to wish and espouse these Twitter users !
