      A while ago, someone noticed many Epic folks weren’t verified on Twitter, and offered to introduce us to a friend at Twitter who grants blue checks. I told them to fuck off, because so long as Twitter verification is tied to favors and cronyism, I didn’t want to be a part. @jack

      Yeah. I never bothered purely because it seemed like a purely narcissistic/ego thing.

      There is some merit to it for super popular Twitter accounts. @elonmusk had bots in his feed using his name avatar and name sending spam links all over. You could only tell the difference in "thread view" by the blue check. That thankfully doesn't apply to most of us

      Having a system for verifying real world identities is a great idea. Only Twitter hasn’t implemented a generally available system for that, but only a network of cronies who do favors for each other, one kind of which is granting blue checks.

          Yes, sadly its become more of a "cool kids cigar club" concept rather than a useful one after they locked down the older system. But even with the older system, I read they were super tough to get, I never tried though
