I legitimately don’t understand why this change would exclude people with over 100k subs. If anyone’s reached 100k subs, one could guess that those people are “legitimate”. Why don’t you add specific tags/symbols to designate official celebrities’ pages?

Quick mock-up that I made. I feel like “verified” people shouldn’t have to be famous outside of the platform. Verifying people that aren’t famous for their content on the site would just be promoting sub-par content on the front page of your site.pic.twitter.com/TQ7Cty2Gus

It’d be like putting a painting that Will smith made in the Louvre. It’s cool, Will Smith and all, but the painting itself is very poor, and not representative of the quality of the other paintings in the building.
