Creating artificial scarcity isn't creating value... removing existing scarcity barriers is creating value.

So you don't mind giving back that blue tick then?
I paid for it exactly how much it's worth: $0. Personally I'd be happy to see blue ticks become an ID verification mark open to anyone. Initially I thought that was where the system was headed.

I would say due to their scarcity those blue ticks currently do add some perceived value to a twitter account.

You're correct. The trap you're falling into is thinking that François is responsible for how it's working out. Asking them to change the dynamic because they happen to have the thing and didn't even pay for it makes no sense.

Whether you like the system or not, blue check marks are objectively valuable. Also, the sum value of all of them goes to zero as blue check marks approach being on every account.

That blue check is not worth $0, it is clearly an asset even of it was a gift

Blue check is a public ally declared edge (a link) between you and twitter. Why only allow edges between users and twitter and only broadcast public? This is scarcity of variety in verification. It's all or nothing with this stuff.
